Miami-Dade County has completed major improvements to the Haulover Park Marina and boat ramp, modernizing one of the county’s busiest public boating facilities and strengthening its resilience to flooding and storm impacts.
The Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) announced that a ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held on Friday, January 9, 2025, at 10 a.m. at the Haulover Park Marina Boat Launch, located at the north end of Haulover Park at 15000 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach.
County officials said the project enhances safety and access for boaters while addressing ongoing challenges posed by tidal flooding and severe weather. Improvements include elevated parking areas and access roads to reduce flood vulnerability, the addition of two new docks to ease congestion, and the replacement of fixed docks with floating docks designed to adapt to changing water levels.
The upgrades also feature new vehicle charging stations, landscaping and site restoration, along with improvements to drainage, lighting and signage throughout the marina.
“This ensures our waterfront remains accessible to the public and resilient to flooding,” Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said, noting that the investment helps prepare the facility for future conditions while continuing to serve the community.
District 4 Commissioner Micky Steinberg described Haulover Park Marina as a key recreational and economic asset, saying the improvements will protect one of the county’s most heavily used waterfront facilities for years to come.
The approximately $13.8 million project was funded through the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond, a Florida Inland Navigational District grant, and Miami-Dade County PROS Department funding.
County officials said the completed work reflects Miami-Dade’s broader commitment to resilient waterfront infrastructure that supports recreation, economic activity and long-term stewardship of public spaces.
