| Project Description: |
| The City of Aventura is respectfully requesting funding assistance for the expansion of Waterways Park development in the amount of $3,350,000 for expanding the current Waterways Park to include a multipurpose lighted sports field, jogging path, ADA compliant and accessible playground, fitness trail recreation building and preservation of .6 acres of mangroves along with the necessary support facilities such as fencing, security lighting, parking, landscaping, and irrigation. |
| |
| Is this a project related to 2004 hurricane damage? |
No |
| |
| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| The expansion of this property would further City, County and State objectives of providing resource based recreation while preserving, interpreting and restoring natural and cultural resources.
Further development of this property would provide much needed recreational space for the City's large condominium population. These residents have no private yards, and thus depend on public parks for recreation, relaxation and pet care.
Providing additional open recreational space will allow the City to better serve its population, which is growing younger, by being able to provide the needed recreational programming and facilities to serve all age levels.
