The Park and Open Space System Master Plan envisions that great parks, public spaces, natural and cultural areas, streets, greenways, blueways, and trails can form the framework for a more sustainable community. Such a plan for the public realm cannot be considered as an isolated system, but one that is integrated into the overall fabric of the community and one that will create the kind of place where residents want to live, employers want to do business and tourists want to visit.
The goal of this Master Planning process is to "create a seamless, sustainable system of parks, recreation and conservation open spaces for this and future generations."

Community Image Advisory Board, Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami with volunteers from Hands on Miami and Roots in the City joined to enhance the vista of the downtown skyline by planting thousands of wild flowers, tropical trees in a grassy swale along I-95, from NW 11th Terrace to I-395, that we refer to as the "V" area.

Host Erika Benitez-Gill joins the County's top landscaping team, known as the Community Image Advisory Board Ambassadors, on their mission to beautify public spaces. See how their green thumbs transform a library's ho-hum lawn with eye-pleasing and water-efficient native plants.
