Flamingo Park Master Plan Improvements
At the start of 2025, this is what's happening:
- Lodge Renovation: The contract was awarded at the December 2023 Commission meeting. Construction is in progress and completion is anticipated by October 2025.
- Butterfly Garden: Project design development is complete and the permitting process has begun. In preparation for the Butterfly Garden, relocation of existing electrical structures will occur. We are aiming to award this work in Summer 2025.
- Softball Field: Construction activities have commenced and completion is anticipated in December 2025.
- Baseball Stadium Improvements: Design for improvements to the baseball stadium are nearly complete. Design documents are going in for permitting this spring. Procurement of a construction contractor will follow and will be coordinated with the construction schedule of the softball field (so that at least one of them is available for community use at all times).
Flamingo Park is a 36.5-acre park located within the boundaries of the Historic Flamingo Park neighborhood in South Beach. Located between Alton Road and Meridian Avenue, the south limit is 11 Street and the north limit is near Española Way. Flamingo Park is one of the most active parks in Miami Beach. As such, the City is always working to enhance the facilities available and make them more resilient. There are many elements to the Flamingo Park Master Plan; different work tasks are scheduled to take place on various timelines, some already complete.
Phase I of this plan addressed park-wide renovations including landscape, irrigation and drainage improvements, as well as the addition and renovation of walkways, new estate fencing, and pedestrian lighting. Phase II work, implemented while Phase I was ongoing, involved creating an outdoor fitness zone within the park.
The handball courts project includes various electrical upgrades, adding sports lighting, new general lighting, stucco repairs, court resurfacing, new frameless windows and doors, new fencing and painting. The courts also include seating areas and water drinking fountains for players and visitors.
