Miami Beach, FL – May 18, 2022 – It was a perfect day for the ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the grand opening of Canopy Park, South Beach’s newest 3-acre green space located at 600 Alton Road. The festivities included speeches by Mayor Dan Gelber, developers Russell Galbut and David Martin, City Manager Alina Hudak, and Parks & Recreation Director John Rebar. Guests from the community also enjoyed tacos from Bodega and treats from Mojo Donuts. Even our furry guests got to enjoy a sweet treat courtesy of Bowies Bites.

This three-acre public park, designed by ArquitectonicaGEO, sets a new standard for what a park can contribute to a community. Park-goers of all ages, abilities, and interests can enjoy the outdoor gym, dog park, and a whimsical playground designed by Danish firm MONSTRUM. There are a number of key elements in the park that further Miami Beach’s resiliency goals, including a collection of tree and plant varietals that create a natural canopy in the park, and innovative drainage techniques. The park will also be home to hundreds of vibrant, native orchids as part of The Million Orchid Project, a partnership with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden.
