The City of Miami is excited about opening its next aquatic facility at Elizabeth Virrick Park in 2024! The Coconut Grove community has been eagerly awaiting a new family-friendly pool to be built in their neighborhood. Together, the Parks Department and the Office of Capital Improvements proudly worked with the community to design a world-class pool for all ages and abilities. 

The Virrick Park Pool will have features like no other.  It includes a zero-depth entry that’s fully ADA accessible, a built-in play structure and water slide to cool down during those hot summer days, a shallow pool for learn-to-swim classes, water aerobics, and inexperienced swimmers. It will also feature a 6-lane lap pool for open swimming, swim teams, swim meets, and teaching lifeguard classes!  

The aquatic facility construction includes a new bathhouse, a public art installation, and right-of-way improvements to Hibiscus Street, Day Avenue, & Percival Avenue. The design fulfills a promise to build a world class facility the City of Miami made to its residents. It will be a state of the art facility that is safe, accessible, and facilitates a healthy and happy quality of life.
