About Gratigny Plateau Park
The playground equipment would be installed at Gratigny Plateau Park. The property in northwest Miami-Dade (885 NW 117th Street) is being transformed into a neighborhood park with the help of WPLG-TV Local 10, EDSA, Miller Construction and other generous sponsors, in partnership with the non-profit Parks Foundation of Miami-Dade. The park, designed to resemble a flower, will feature a walking path, toddler playground, butterfly garden, park benches, and fitness and learning stations.
