Project Update - May 2021
The installation of approximately 1125 linear feet of new sheet pile and concrete cap is complete! The new installation creates a resilient structure that withstand storm surges and rising tides caused by sea-level rise. Baywalk construction and landscape improvements are scheduled to begin in June 2021.

Park Address: 2845 Brickell Avenue Miami, FL 33129
New park improvements and elements include:
- Replacement of existing seawall to mitigate sea level rise
- New baywalk - approximately 33,000 square feet, using pervious and compacted gravel (to allow water to drain into the ground)
- Drainage improvements
- Safety lighting
- New seating areas and trash receptacles
- Planting of 115 native trees, 3,520 shrubs and approximately 118,130 square feet of sod
- Removal of invasive plants and new landscaping
Project Phases
- Phase 1 of the proposed work is to provide shoreline improvements for the park:
- Replace the existing seawall and enhancing the waterfront with a new baywalk
- Protect the natural elements of the park against vulnerabilities to sea level rise, storm surge, erosion, and compounding flooding
- The proposed baywalk will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant
Phase 1 is currently under construction.
- Phase 2 will be a part of a future development of this project:
- Upland park landscaping
- Restroom and office facilities for the park
- ADA access to the waterfront elements
- Gazebo Shelters
