PROJECT SUMMARY Heritage Park will be located on State Road AlA (Collins Avenue) between NE 192nd Street and the William Lehman Causeway. The 3.55-acre site was purchased by the City of Sunny Isles Beach in 2006 for nineteen million six hundred thousand dollars of which 2.40 acres will be used for park land. (1.15 acres were cut-out for a parking garage and driveway). Located across the street from the Atlantic Ocean, Heritage Park is just a short walking distance from a public beach access area. The objective of this project is to develop this prime piece of property into a public park for all Sunny Isles Beach residents and visitors to enjoy rather than allow it to be developed into a 16-story multi-family residential unit as it is currently zoned. The project site is currently being used as a surface parking lot for the hotel across the street as well as city employees. Along the perimeter of the property Brazilian Peppers and Australian Pines are some exotic (invasive) vegetation that will be removed prior to the new construction. The proposed park consists of a large open space that will be used for both active and passive recreational activities. Park amenities in this area include a 1A mile walking and jogging path, a covered and accessible children's playground, two separate picnic pavilions, two (2) bocce ball courts, and numerous park benches and associated site furnishings such as water fountains, benches, picnic tables, trash receptacles, and bicycle racks. Additionally, the eastern portion of the park will provide ample opportunities for the display of public sculpture and other artworks. 5
