South Pointe Park
Miami Beach, Florida
Hargreaves Associates worked for the City of Miami Beach providing design and master plan services for 19 acre South Pointe Park; recently completed construction and opened in March 2009. The existing park’s assets are substantial: expansive views across Government Cut, adjacency to lively residential neighborhoods, and direct access to both the bayfront and beachfront. However, the program amenities and design quality of the park require substantial intervention to capitalize on these assets and make the park a vibrant and successful place. Hargreaves Associates is developing a plan that includes a grand esplanade along Government Cut, a beach dune restoration area, children’s playground landscape, and a park pavilion, all anchored within a dramatic, serpentine landform that will serve as a place for viewing, a path for walking, and artful, iconic feature of the park.
