Miami-Dade Parks is gearing up to enhance Lago Mar Park with a substantial renovation project. Set to break ground on Thursday, locals can expect new features and upgrades amounting to $1.3 million, designed to bolster the park's usability and visitors' experience.

Located at 8165 SW 162nd Ave in Miami, the park improvements will include a new parking lot complete with Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations, the right-of-way areas will be enhanced, an expanded fitness zone with updated equipment is planned, and ADA accessibility will be upgraded. The park’s safety, accessibility, and sustainability are aimed at improvements with these changes, as they also address a significant upgrade to the park’s drainage system.

These adjustments are more than just aesthetic enhancements; they also represent a commitment to serving underserved communities by Miami-Dade's Parks. Featuring amenities that are both functional and forward-thinking, the project underscores the department's dedication to creating high-quality recreational spaces that are accessible and welcoming to all, including those in low-income and health disparity areas.

The groundbreaking ceremony is poised to feature District 11 Commissioner Roberto J. Gonzalez, who is expected to speak about the improvements' positive impacts on the community. According to the Miami-Dade County’s official announcement, Gonzalez will be present to deliver remarks on the enhancements that will better serve the local population.

For those interested in attending, the event details are as follows: Commissioner Gonzalez will be at Lago Mar Park, 8165 SW 162nd Ave, Miami, FL 33193, on Thursday, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Details about the project can be found on Miami-Dade County’s official website.
