| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND/HISTORY
| Lummus Park is a 74-acre urban park located between Ocean Drive and the Atlantic Ocean between 5th Street and 15th Street. The historic Art Deco District in South Beach serves as the backdrop for this landmark. The park is popular with residents, tourists, and eventgoers. Lummus Park features large passive areas, playground, public restrooms, paved paths, sand volleyball courts, a fitness area, and Muscle Beach. Activity is constant providing a unique set of operational challenges. The park hosts dozens of diverse events every year, ranging from concerts, filming, sporting events, art displays, festivals, etc., making it one of the most popular destinations in Miami Beach.
On November 6, 2018, Miami Beach residents approved a ballot measure, which authorized the issuance of a general obligation bond (G.O. Bond) to revitalize Lummus Park. A total of $4.737 million of general obligation bonds were issued to fund the project, including but not limited to the design, permitting, and construction. Improvements to Lummus Park include landscaping beautification and new trees; a new crushed-shell walkway with wayfinding signage; and the expansion and upgrade of the park irrigation system to include wireless connectivity, rain sensors, and flow meters.
The City seeks to develop and design a master plan for Lummus Park that provides a cohesive long-term vision that addresses the immediate needs identified in the general obligation bond project description and additional enhancements to be developed during visioning process with residents, administration, elected officials, and other stakeholders. Different options for implementation and funding will be developed during this process.
