Belle Isle Park, located on the only natural island of the Venetian Islands between Miami <br />and Miami Beach, is a major open space surrounded on three sides by high-density <br />condominium buildings, and Venetian Causeway to the north. The space offered no <br />walkways or large open spaces for play, but was mostly used by residents to walk the <br />dogs. SMDS was asked to create a plan to attract more residents to use the park, and <br />responded with a plan which provided for a range of recreational opportunities. A large <br />elliptical open space formed by a walkway, coupled with a “Bark Park” and numerous <br />small paved seating areas – located by each of the park entry/street crosswalks – allows <br />for both passive and active play activities. Numerous existing trees and palms were <br />preserved or transplanted to create and define the park’s spaces. <br />BELLE ISLE PARK <br />Client: <br />Service: <br />Project Cost: <br />Completed: <br />Principal Firm: <br />City of Miami Beach <br />Schematic Design through Construction Phase Services <br />$450,000 <br />2008 <br />Jacobs & Associates <br />Parks <br />Venetian Islands, FL <br />46RFQ No. 22-06-01
