We've been noticing a small 'key' right off the end of our pier that had some outbuildings and a brand new pier. We found out that it's a public use facility.
So we dinghy'd over there, so excited! Get to explore!
The picture of the sign is below, but what the City of Miami did was turn one of the 'keys' made out of backfill from the dredging done way long ago in the PanAm days. They've since cleaned up the island with help from local community organizations and it is for parks/rec facility use. HOW COOL IS THAT!
There are about 5-6 picnic areas and one large group spot. They are currently trying to rehab some mangroves on the shore line.
It's not very big, but they've done a good job and walking around is nice, they've labeled the flora and fauna and put some signs out for history.
All in all, not a bad way to picnic and spend an afternoon!
