Ribbon Cutting for Muss Park Pavilion
— Monday, January 29 at 2:30 p.m. —
WHO/WHAT: Join the City of Miami Beach as they unveil the new pavilion and
amenities at Muss Park, alongside guest speaker Heather Muss,
granddaughter of Alexander Muss for whom the park is named. She will
be sharing the story of how the park came to be thanks to her
grandfather’s generous donation to the City of Miami Beach.
Previously 2,000 square feet, the pavilion was constructed to attain
LEED gold-certification and is now double its original size. The
communal complex features a brand new office, warming kitchen,
storage space, bathrooms and drinking fountains. Equipping park users
with a practical activity space, rain or shine, the facility’s large four-fold
doors allow the pavilion to operate as both an open-air or air-conditioned
space.
The handicap-accessible picnic table area and playground further
complement the space, providing people of all abilities an opportunity to
enjoy the park. Circling the large playing field, the new concrete
walkways, updated fencing, fresh swing sets, landscaping and irrigation
upgrades add to the park’s functionality and aesthetic. Additionally, the
new handicap-accessible playgrounds are separated based on age level,
serving as a dedicated space for children ages two through five and five
to twelve.
Preserving the waterfront park for generations to come, the old seawall
was replaced with a hybrid, living shoreline structure.
WHEN: Monday, January 29 at 2:30 p.m.
