From Miami Gardens to the Keys: Projects That Make a Difference

From Pompano Beach to the Florida Keys, these examples highlight layouts built for daily use and long service life across Southeast Florida.

Projects can range from large, bond-funded municipal park renovation programs, including work tied to the City of Miami Gardens’ $60 million initiative, to smaller neighborhood upgrades from Miami-Dade down to the Keys. Whether the site is in Miami-Dade County, Broward County or Palm Beach County, the priorities stay consistent: confirm constraints early, plan clear accessible circulation, and select materials that perform in coastal conditions and high-traffic settings.

To get started, send a GPS map pin and a short project description. I will narrow the options to a few buildable directions, then package quantities, lead times, and specifications for review. If you are purchasing through an existing city or county contract or a cooperative program, I can align the package so it is ready for ordering.

Project photo note: example shows use zones and fall heights sized to the site, shade at gathering points, and surfacing matched to the maintenance plan.

Popular Site Products

Across Southeast Florida, parks and schools need coordinated products that hold up to salt air, intense sun, humidity, hurricane exposure, and high daily use. I work with six high-demand categories that show up most often: swings and swing bays, slides and sliding hills, music and sensory play, outdoor classroom and learning spaces, inclusive play components, and spinners and motion play. Share your site address, age group, and priorities, and I can help coordinate selections sized to the space and budget, with finishes aligned to coastal conditions and high-traffic settings.

Swings and Swing Bays

Swings are a simple way to add high-use play value in a small footprint. Browse swing bays and seat options to see what fits the space and the age group.

Slides and Sliding Hills

Slides create an instant focal point and help shape the flow of a play zone. Use these examples to compare slide styles and how they look in the wider playground layout.

Music and Sensory Play

Musical and sensory elements add inclusive, repeatable play that works at ground level. These examples highlight pieces that invite participation and complement larger play structures.

Outdoor Classroom and Learning Spaces

Outdoor learning areas create flexible space for small groups, lessons, and community programs. Use these examples to compare layout styles that pair well with shade and seating.

Inclusive Play Components

Inclusive components help more people engage comfortably at different activity levels. Look for examples like transfer points, ground-level play, and supportive seating options.

Spinners and Motion Play

Motion elements add energy and variety without needing a large footprint. Compare spinner styles and see-saws to find a look that complements the rest of the play zone.
If you have a direction for your project, share the site address and target timeline. Whether it’s shade and play equipment for a school in Miami-Dade County, shelters and gathering areas in Broward County, or outdoor fitness and surfacing for a park in Palm Beach County, I can narrow the options and provide coordinated selections that perform in coastal conditions and high-traffic settings. For tri-county projects or cooperative programs spanning multiple districts, finishes and mount types are matched to local requirements, with cut sheets, quantities, lead times, and current procurement windows returned for review.

Featured Projects Across Southeast Florida

This section highlights project examples from the Treasure Coast through Greater Miami and into the Florida Keys. Use the photos and summaries to compare layout flow, shade placement, surfacing transitions, and supporting amenities such as seating and waste solutions.
If one of these projects is close to what you want, send the project name and the features you want to keep, such as shade coverage, surfacing style, or the type of play structure. I will recommend a few comparable directions sized to your site and budget, then outline the next steps to move into drawings and specifications.

Feature-Driven Ideas for Greater Miami and the Florida Keys

Use these feature pages to browse ideas by category and compare real examples side by side. Across Greater Miami, the tri-county area, and the Florida Keys, the goal is to choose elements that fit your space, age range, and day-to-day use. When you have a shortlist, I will help translate it into a cohesive plan with materials, finishes, and specifications that match your priorities and long-term upkeep.

Site Amenities & Furnishings

If one of these themes fits what you are trying to build, tell me which tiles you want to borrow from and what needs to be accommodated on your site, such as age range, available space, shade needs, accessible routes, and expected daily traffic. I will narrow the options and return a clear path forward with specifications, budget guidance, and next steps.
