Parks and Recreation Survey Extended

Please click on this link to the South Miami Parks and Recreation Department's web site to fill out the survey and express your goals and dreams for our city's open spaces.

Since there was such a small sampling of resident responses in June, the department has decided to extend the survey's availability so that they can get a more true representation of what South Miami's residents would like to see in their parks. This is your chance to add your two cents and make our city even greater.

Help shape the Parks and Recreation Master Plan!

The South Miami Department of Parks and Recreation has scheduled two public workshops to get input on the city's parks and recreation master plan. At the workshops, Miller Legg (the consultant hired by the city) will conduct a discussion of goals and objectives so that residents can discuss the community's needs.

Both workshops will be held at South Miami City Hall (6130 Sunset Drive). The first will be held Thursday, June 25, at 7p.m., and the second will be on Saturday, June 27, at 5p.m.

Residents are strongly encouraged to fill out the Parks and Recreation Residents’ Survey, which is available online at www.southmiamifl.gov. This quick (15 minute) survey allows you to give input about the future of our parks and programs.
