–Miami Beach Public School to Begin Design Process as New School Year Begins–

Miami Beach, FL – The Trust for Public Land (TPL) has announced its successful Community Schoolyards program is expanding to the City of Miami Beach for the 2024-2025 school year.

The City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County Public Schools have selected Miami Beach’s Biscayne Beach Elementary, a jointly owned school field, for the city’s first project. The design process is underway, and the North Beach school field will be the first in the district to partner on a Community Schoolyard site.

“We are excited about expanding our schoolyards program to Miami Beach to create a safe and inviting green space in Miami-Dade County,” said Director of Urban Parks for Trust for Public Land Jay Wozniak. “Hundreds of families will benefit from having greater access to nearby outdoor recreation and a safe place to gather.”

The Community Schoolyards program is a national effort by Trust for Public Land designed to expand community access to schoolyards during non-school hours and increase the percentage of people who live within a 10-minute walk of a park, as well as transforming these spaces to address climate impacts and improve educational outcomes. In the case of Miami Beach, the enhancements would add to the available green space in the area.

Enhancing schoolyards and parks with trees, gardens and engaging play equipment delivers an abundance of benefits to students, from emotional to academic to health. Teachers and school administrators have reported that attendance, behavior and test scores improve following schoolyard renovations.

Renovated schoolyards can also help communities address climate vulnerabilities, with landscaped gardens and porous surfaces absorbing stormwater and creating cooling shade.

“We are thrilled to begin this partnership and to provide new and updated outdoor spaces for our families,” said Miami Beach City Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez. 

“Miami-Dade County Public Schools is looking forward to engaging students, staff, and community members in the process of designing an inviting, accessible and safe space for school-day play and after-hour recreation,” said Superintendent of Miami-Dade County Public Schools Dr. Jose L. Dotres.

The designs created for the campus are being shaped by the students and the school community through TPL’s participatory design process to ensure these spaces benefit residents for years to come. Trust for Public Land, along with its partners and donors, educate students about the value of parks and the careers that shape these community spaces. Biscayne Beach Elementary will conduct community engagement in early fall 2024.

Potential plans for the Biscayne Beach Elementary schoolyard may include spaces for learning experiences, outdoor musical instruments, seating areas with shade structures as well as new climbing equipment.

Access to the outdoors for sport and play is a fundamental human need, essential to our health and well-being, and is an important tool in mitigating the effects of climate change. And yet, 100 million people, including 28 million kids, do not have access to a quality park within a 10-minute walk from home. Community Schoolyards projects are a low-cost, effective solution to this park access gap.

For nearly 30 years, Trust for Public Land has worked with cities and school districts across the country to design schoolyards.

— For 16 of the city’s cultural organizations during the 2025 fiscal year —

Miami Beach, FL – The Miami Beach City Commission voted unanimously to close a $492,676 funding gap expected to hit the city’s cultural institutions during the upcoming fiscal year. The one-time city funding measure is in response to a recent state cut that eliminated the allocation of 2025 fiscal year funds for cultural and museum grants.

“Every tax dollar spent on arts and culture comes back to the city with interest and dividends,” said Miami Beach Commissioner Tanya K. Bhatt, who sponsored the funding resolution. “Our cultural institutions are at the heart of our quality of life in Miami Beach — for our students, families, visitors and businesses. It reaffirms our commitment to our vibrant and thriving community that as a city, we offer something for everyone."

The City of Miami Beach is the first municipality in the State of Florida to make up this budgetary shortfall — with St. Petersburg considering a similar measure to support their local arts organizations as well.

According to a 2023 study by Americans for the Arts, the City of Miami Beach received a $334.9 million economic boost from its arts and culture focus in the prior year. The study looked at 373 diverse communities and regions from all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

The city funding will be shared among the following 16 Miami Beach-based cultural institutions and organizations in varying amounts:

  • The Bass Museum
  • The Dance Now! Ensemble
  • FUNDarte
  • Holocaust Memorial
  • Jewish Museum of Florida—FIU
  • Living Arts Trust (O Cinema)
  • Miami City Ballet
  • Miami Beach Botanical Garden
  • Miami Design Preservation League
  • Miami Music Festival
  • Miami New Drama
  • New World Symphony
  • O, Miami
  • The Rhythm Foundation.
  • South Florida Art Center (Oolite Arts)
  • The Wolfsonian—FIU

Miami Beach, FL – First responders from the City of Miami Beach Fire and Police Departments will hold a joint observance on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024 to honor the memory of the 2,977 victims who died during the 9/11 terror attacks more than two decades ago.

“By honoring the memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and the brave first responders who selflessly ran toward danger, we will never forget the collective sacrifice these Americans made and continue to uphold the values of unity, compassion and solidarity for which they stood,” Miami Beach City Manager Eric T. Carpenter said.

The Miami Beach ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. outside Fire Station 2. A moment of silence will be observed at 8:46 a.m. as first responders lower the American flag to half-staff. The total number of victims includes the first responders who died while attempting to assist other victims but does not include the 19 terrorists killed while perpetrating the attacks that began with four hijacked airliners on Sept. 11, 2001.

Two aircraft were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City while another was flown into the Pentagon. The remaining aircraft crashed into a Pennsylvania field when passengers bravely resisted their attackers.

- The native Florida trees were planted in 5 Miami Beach parks under a 2022 grant -

Miami Beach, FL – Dozens of native Florida canopy trees that were planted in five Miami Beach parks in 2022 have taken root and appear to be thriving two years later.

“We planted a variety of species, mainly green and silver buttonwoods as well as slash pines,” explained Miami Beach Chief Resilience Officer Amy Knowles. “The additional trees are helping the city to expand its urban tree canopy, which intercepts thousands of gallons of urban stormwater runoff, reduces carbon monoxide, helps conserve electricity and improves the overall health of our residents.”

The 2022 Neat Streets Parks reforestation project cost $128,885 and included the planting of 128 trees. Some $50,000 came from a Neat Streets Miami grant through the Miami-Dade County Tree Trust Fund, which prioritizes programs based on locations with low tree canopy and low-to-moderate income populations. Miami Beach parks that benefitted from the additional trees included Stillwater, Polo, Pine Tree, Altos Del Mar and Marjory Stoneman Douglas.

In addition to the grant money, the project was funded by the city’s 2018 voter-approved general obligation bond.

— City Hall to display the color of victory throughout the month of September —

Miami Beach, FL – In support of childhood cancer awareness month, Miami Beach City Hall will light up gold from Sept. 1-30, 2024 starting at sundown each day. Childhood cancer continues to top the list of diseases that take the most lives of children in the U.S. — with one in every 260 children being diagnosed with cancer by the age of 20, according to the Mystic Force Foundation.

“A childhood cancer diagnosis is overwhelming,” said Mayor Steven Meiner. “Miami Beach is raising awareness by standing in solidarity with these brave young warriors and supporting their families as they face this difficult journey.”

On Sept. 7, area police vehicles adorned with gold ribbons, including one from Miami Beach, will participate in the 7th Annual Gold Ribbon Parade as a caravan of hope for kids battling cancer and their families.

The police vehicles will travel from Nicklaus Children’s Hospital to Holtz Children’s Hospital and Alex’s Place, the Ronald McDonald House of South Florida and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital.
