Sunny Isles Parks

According to the most recent press release from the City of Sunny Isles Beach, a few of the City’s public parks will be reopened for residents only!

The City of Sunny Isles Beach will reopen six select parks beginning Wednesday, May 6. The City is preparing the necessary staff, logistics, and supplies to safely reopen parks for residents, following Miami-Dade County’s order on April 27, which allowed some parks and recreational facilities to open under limited circumstances.

The parks are:

• Gateway Park, 151 Sunny Isles Blvd.
• Heritage Park, 19200 Collins Ave.
• Intracoastal Parks, 16100 Collins Ave.
• Samson Oceanfront Park, 17425 Collins Ave.
• Senator Gwen Margolis Park, 17815 North Bay Road
• Town Center Park, 17200 Collins Ave. The City will also institute a new area for young children to ride bicycles safely.
• Bicycle Zone under the William Lehman Causeway

The parks will be open every day except Tuesdays.

The hours of operation for these locations are as follows:

• Daily Hours (except Tuesdays): 9 a.m. – noon and 4 – 8 p.m.
• Senior Priority Hours: 8 – 9 a.m., Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Due to the high density of our City and the nature of our parks, we must have rules and guidelines to keep our community safe. To mitigate the large number of residents crowding the gardens simultaneously, the City will follow a usage schedule based on the residents’ home addresses.
• Residents living in even-numbered houses or apartments may visit parks on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
• Residents living in odd-numbered houses or apartments may visit parks on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. However, the gardens will be open only to Sunny Isles Beach residents who perform passive activities and practice social distancing.
• All individuals inside the park must wear facial coverings except for children under two years old. Minors must always be accompanied by a parent or guardian in the garden, and no groups larger than ten members of the same family may gather in one place.
• Park use is encouraged to be one hour or less. Activities allowed at the parks include walking, running, stretching, and exercise. Directional signage will be posted on sidewalks to minimize cross-contact.
• The park’s restrooms will be open only to one person or family at a time and sanitized throughout the day. Tables, fitness equipment, playgrounds, water fountains, bicycle racks, and water features at each park will remain closed until further notice.
• The Bone Zone dog park at Senator Gwen Margolis Park and the dog area at Heritage Park will also remain closed. No animals are permitted in the park.
