Improvements coming to South Miami Park
South Miami Park is getting a makeover. The City just approved plans to hire a company to completely renovate the eastern portion of the park. The improvements (which will be in the section to the east of the fields) will include new swings, a new playground, and new outdoor fitness equipment. The landscaping and trees will be improved. The area will also be upgraded to allow ADA access to the new amenities.

All the improvements will be in the area that is currently fenced-in on the northeast portion of the park.

A portion of the project is being paid for with a state grant the city received last year.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE...
Dante Fascell is also getting major improvements
You didn't think South Miami Park was the only SoMi park on the list for upgrades, did you?

Check out the plans for Dante Fascell Park! The City is hiring an engineering and architectural firm to move ahead with that park's next phase of improvements.

A brand new community building will be constructed which will feature new amenities for tennis players and visitors. Right now there is no indoor program space, no shelter from bad weather, and no showers for tennis players.

The new building will include a multipurpose room, concession services, new locker rooms and new showers for tennis players.
