No two classes are the same! Students will work the session to improve cardiovascular stamina, core strength, & flexibility.

SOLAR POWERED BOLLARDS

DORAL LEGACY PARK

MORGAN LEVY PARK SYNTHETIC TURF

Located at NW 82nd Street and 114th

Avenue, the future Doral Legacy Park is

conceived as a place in which the community

can gather to enjoy sports, cultural arts, and

nature in a safe environment that is

representative of the beautiful City of Doral.

The park will encompass 18+ acres in the

section 7 area of Doral. Clearing of the park

site began on April 2, 2015 and as of October

17, 2015 the vertical construction was

underway. The park is estimated to be

completed in the Summer of 2016.

This project commenced on January 7, 2016 and consisted of the lighting of the bike path at

Trails & Tails Park with solar powered bollards. Currently, the bike path on NW 50th Street from

114th Avenue to NW 112th Ave is a lighted bike path and has received positive feedback from

patrons who utilize that path during the evening hours. In addition, the Public Works Department

has completed a new bike path on NW 50th Street from 112th Avenue to 107th Avenue. This bike

path will also feature solar powered lights versus the traditional standard electrical lighting. The

solar powered lights have a low installation cost and minimal site impact with no trenching,

cabling, or wiring, minimal ongoing costs associated with electricity bills or bulb replacement,

and provide a visibly green statement with no ongoing carbon emissions

DURING AFTER AFTER

This project consists of the removal of the current synthetic turf fields at Morgan Levy Park which are over 8 years old followed by drainage work and the installation of new synthetic turf fields. The new synthetic turf fields will feature slit film fibers which have a proven track record of durability. The project is estimated to take 10-12 weeks to completed once the removal process of the old turf has begun.

Rentals are available Saturdays and Sundays ONLY. The pavilion at Doral Meadow Park is available for
