Museum Park Opening Ceremony

After 14 years and around $40M Museum Park officially opened this morning  The people of Miami were in attendance to show their support and appreciation  City of Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado City of Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff and Superintendent of Miami Dade County Public Schools Alberto Carvalho each spoke at the opening ceremony which was marked by the arrival of the iconic United States Coast Guard Cutter Eagle

As a long time resident of Miami the opening of Museum Park is almost surreal to me  It had been talk for so long that it was hard to believe at times that it would actually ever happen  However the day has finally arrived and I must say the park is spectacular  It is such a beautiful gift not only to the people of Miami but also their four legged friends  It is fair to say that prior to todays park opening much of Downtown Miami was a concrete jungle  Now the children and dogs of Miami have a place to run around and play  I personally do not have any children but am a proud owner of a Miniature Schnauzer named Lucky  A few days ago while walking him at Museum Park I asked Lucky how he enjoyed the new park  His response says it all

Below are other pictures I took from this mornings Museum Park opening ceremony
