Scott Park Is Open: Inside Miami Gardens' Newest Community Hub
One of the flagship projects of Miami Gardens' parks investment has arrived. Scott Park is opening in 2026 and already hosting community programming.
Good news for Miami Gardens families: Scott Park is here. One of the flagship projects of the city's voter-approved parks investment, the reimagined Scott Park is opening in 2026 and has already begun hosting community programming. If you've watched the construction and wondered what was taking shape, here's a look at Miami Gardens' newest community hub and everything it offers.
What Scott Park offers
Scott Park was rebuilt as a true neighborhood gathering place, designed to serve nearly every age and interest. According to the city, the park features:
| Feature | For |
|---|---|
| New community building | Programs, gatherings, and indoor activities |
| Playground | Younger children and families |
| Basketball courts | Pickup games and youth sports |
| Baseball field | Little league and community play |
| Football practice areas | Youth football and training |
| Community garden | Growing food and green-thumb neighbors |
| New parking | Easier, safer access for visitors |
That combination, from a community building to sports facilities to a garden, makes Scott Park more than a place to play. It's a space designed to bring neighbors together, keep kids active and engaged, and give the surrounding community a genuine focal point.
Part of a bigger investment
Scott Park is one piece of Miami Gardens' broader parks investment, funded through a voter-approved General Obligation Bond (GOB) program. Across the city, that program has been renovating and building parks, including a new artificial turf field at Walt Frazier Park, new pickleball courts near Buccaneer Park, and continued work at AJ King Park. Scott Park stands out as one of the most comprehensive of these projects, and its opening is a visible sign of promises kept.
These investments reflect a simple idea: that a growing, thriving city needs safe, modern places for its residents to gather, play, and connect. As we've covered in our reporting on the city's rising tax base, this is part of what that growth funds.
Already a community gathering place
Scott Park isn't just open, it's already being put to use. The city has begun hosting community programming at the park, including health and wellness events that bring residents together and connect them with resources. That's exactly the vision: a park that's active, useful, and woven into daily community life from day one.
Make it yours
The best way to support a community space is to use it. Bring the kids to the playground, shoot hoops, join a program at the community building, or see about a plot in the community garden. Parks thrive when neighbors show up, and Scott Park is ready to become a beloved part of the neighborhood.
