Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for South Pointe Park Water Feature
-- Dedicated In Memory of Former Deputy Police Chief Mark N. Overton --
WHAT/WHO: Illuminating South Pointe Park, the newly renovated water fountains
along the south end of Washington Avenue are now complete. Join the
city in a ribbon cutting ceremony opening, along with a memorial plaque
dedication in honor of Miami Beach Police Department veteran Mark N.
Overton, commemorating his 32 years of service.
“Chief Overton showcased the finest values of the department: honor,
integrity and dedication,” said Miami Beach City Manager Jimmy L.
Morales. “His love for South Pointe Park and remarkable legacy
throughout South Florida will always be remembered.”
Featuring new landscaping and pathway lighting, the formerly interactive
water fixtures have been replaced with passive fountains and misters
lined with soft, fluorescent lights. The fountains are highlighted by
surfaces and vanishing edges similar to an infinity pool that provide a
minimalistic design. Granting an additional area for pedestrians to
unwind and reflect, coral stone benches have been installed in line with
the park’s aesthetic.
WHEN: Wednesday, September 6, 2017 at 7:30 p.m.
