Northwest Miami-Dade residents have been invited to Join District 13 Commissioner Esteban Bovo Jr. and the county’s Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department for the dedication of a new multi-use trail at Amelia Earhart Park at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday October 18.
The park is located at 401 E. 65 Street in Hialeah.
Spanning approximately 1,900 linear feet and 12-feet wide, the paved trail is designed to be shared by bicycle riders and pedestrians, and provides people in wheelchairs with enhanced accessibility to park amenities.
The trail is complete with a bike wash station, and a 15x15-foot canvas canopy that serves as a shady rest spot.
The site also received new landscaping, new wood fencing, new access gates, and a new 20-space parking lot with eight designated ADA parking spaces. There is also a newly paved access roadway that extends from the park’s main loop road to its popular Mountain Bike Trail which is recognized as a top South Florida bike trail and venue for pro-series BMX race events.
“Amelia Earhart Park is one of this community’s most beautiful parks and this new trail certainly boasts some of the park’s best views,” said Bovo. “I highly encourage neighbors to make this trail their regular spot for walking, biking and relaxing with nature.”
Visitors are encouraged to bring their own bike and helmet for riding the trails. Bike and helmet rentals are available on weekends and holidays from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Park admission is $7 per vehicle on weekends and free on weekdays.
