NEWS UPDATES
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez issued Emergency Order 21-20 allowing for the re-opening of county parks with some restrictions. Boating, waterways and golf courses are also open. Visit the county's " Moving to a New Normal " website for details on what is open, what is closed and what is required from park patrons. The Mayor's order applies to county facilities only. Certain cities, such as Palmetto Bay, have opted to keep their parks closed. Check with your local municipality on local orders.
Concerns over reports of new deaths in Miami-Dade County related to COVID-19 and the existing threat of transmission coupled with resident requests to keep Village parks closed, prompted Palmetto Bay's decision to keep park facilities closed for the time being. Interim Village Manager Greg Truitt issued Emergency Order 02-20 closing Village parks. Pinecrest to the north has opened its facilities while Cutler Bay to the south announced keeping their parks closed until further notice. Please stay tuned for any updates.
