The City of Miami is moving forward with Phase 1 of a major renovation at José Martí Park, the city announced in a post on Instagram. The work aims to make the waterfront park more resilient, greener and more welcoming.
Planned improvements include a new seawall to help guard against flooding, expanded green space, upgraded waterfront walkways, a new playground, kayak access, better lighting and additional trees.
According to the city, the project will strengthen the park’s connection to the Miami River. The post did not provide a start date, a construction schedule or a cost.
For residents and families who use the park along the river, the changes would add flood protection and new recreation options. Updates on timing and closures were not included in the announcement.
