Fuchs who founded the Holsum Baking Company in Homestead, Florida, in 1913. To be closer to distribution centers, Mr. Fuchs move his bakery to South Miami in 1934 where it became one of the biggest employers in the city. Fuchs was a civic leader in South Miami where he served as a charter member of the South Miami Chamber of Commerce and as its president from 1937 to 1944 and from 1949 until 1954 when he passed away as a result of an air boat accident.

A beautiful park in Doral!…read more I've known Doral to have so many family friendly parks that are utilized and so happy that my friend showed me Doral Glades Park. I can see why it's coined as the "Glades" because the main part of it is a lake/glades area that has a walkway around the perimeter. It's beautiful and serene and was a great pathway for our morning walk/jog. This park also has playgrounds, one volleyball sand court, one basketball court (with two hoops), and six pickleball courts! Such a great spot for all kinds of activity and very clean and new. They also have some pavillions in case you're looking for a spot for your next party or event. Excited to come back sometime and check out their pickleball courts/community!

Maceo was a Cuban general and second-in-command of the Cuban Army of Independence. Antonio Maceo Park is located on the shore of the picturesque Blue Lagoon. There is a boat ramp people can use to access the lagoon. Other park amenities include a community center, bike racks, picnic tables, pavilions, and a playground. Right now the park is a bit of a mess with fences up for construction. The park is scheduled to receive new restrooms, renovation of the concrete boat ramp and floating dock, renovation of the sidewalks and the stationary dock, and renovation of the parking lot. Once the construction is finished I have no doubt that this will be a five star park.

The park is on a large field that sits adjacent to the William Lehman Elementary School. It turns out everything in the nature based playground is brand new. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on May 31st of this year. The city spent $500,000 from the Quality Neighborhood Improvement Program and impact fees to redesigned the playground with the goal of getting children to spend more time outside and to encourage them to appreciate nature through play. The 4,510-square-foot play area contains inclusive playground equipment and Australian pine logs were added to provide seating. Playground equipment includes climbing nets, a double tower, spring riders, swings, a play and learn panel, and musical instruments to play. New landscaping including five oak trees, sod, and native pollinator plants along with concrete curbing, walkways, benches, and bike racks were added to enhance the area. The result of all of the improvements is a inviting play area for the community children. Improvements at Sabal Chase are part of the Miami-Dade County Parks and Open Space Master Plan which is a vision to create a sustainable system of parks, recreation and open spaces for the citizens of Miami.

This is a park located in west Coconut Grove. It is named in honor of poverty activist Elizabeth…read moreVirrick who was born in Winchester, Kentucky in 1897. She studied architecture and interior design at the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University before moving to Miami in 1925 with her husband. During a meeting at the Coconut Grove Civic Club in 1948 she met Pastor Theodore Gibson. Through him she learned about the impoverished living conditions of the community's African American population, many of them Bahamian. Together Gibson and Virrick formed the Coconut Grove Citizens Committee for Slum Clearance to improve sanitation, access to clean water, and garbage pickup in Coconut Grove. Virrick raised money to replace outhouses with plumbing. She then expanded her crusade to other low income African American communities. She tried to stop the I-95 expansion into Overtown which devastated that community. She was more successful with halting the I-95 extension into Coconut Grove. After WWII Verrick continued to work for the betterment of her community. In the 1960s, Virrick was working on President Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society, a program that promoted fair housing, increased job opportunities, and social service programs. Elizabeth Virrick's name adorns many buildings throughout Miami. The 3.5 acre park that bears her name was designed by architect Kenneth Treister. It is on a parcel of land that borders the historic black and white sections of Coconut Grove. This park was the result of work by Treister, Virrick and Miami City Commissioner Alice Wainwright who also has a park named after her. The park opened in 1963 and in 1970 a pool was added. In 2002 the park was renovated and a new community center was added that was designed with the assistance of Kenneth Treister. In 2006 a library branch was added. In 2017 historical marker F-967 was added to the park. The marker details the many accomplishments of Elizabeth Virrick and it is located near the Coconut Grove Wall of Fame. Today park amenities include the library, basketball courts, restrooms, grills, and picnic tables. The community center provides after school, teen, and camp programs. It has a gymnasium and computers and hosts events for the community. Plans have been in place since 2010 to replace the outdated pool. Right before Covid, funding was getting finalized for an Olympic sized pool that will help children in the community learn to swim. The pipework underneath Elizabeth Street would need to be restructured which will hold up the project. The community has eagerly been waiting for the pool for many years now. I am sure that if Elizabeth Virrick was still alive she would be fighting for them to get it. .
