Project overview and benefits:
North Beach Oceanside Park spans nearly 28 acres from 87 Street on the north to 79 Street to the south, east of Collins Avenue.
Phase One of the project, which is the northern section of the park from 83 Street to 87 Street, will be complete and open to the public this week as the contractor needs to transition from Phase I to Phase II. The park may be temporarily closed during this transition phase. Improvements include new concrete pathways, additional landscaping, new signage, cosmetic refurbishment of the existing restrooms, ornamental entrance gates, upgraded perimeter fencing, security camera infrastructure, new playground equipment, site furnishing, turtle-friendly lighting and a refurbished picnic shelter. These new improvements enhance public safety and improve the aesthetics of the park.

The North Beach Oceanside Park project continues with the second phase of construction in the park's southern half from 83 Street south to 79 Street. Similar to Phase 1, parks improvements for Phase 2 include all new concrete pathways, additional landscaping, cosmetic refurbishment of the existing restrooms, ornamental entrance gates, upgraded perimeter fencing, security camera infrastructure, BBQ stations, fitness stations, new dog park, turtle-friendly lighting and refurbished picnic shelters.
