Miami Lakes has once again been recognized as a Playful City USA community for the 8th year in a row. Playful City communities are acknowledged for making a commitment to play and physical activity by developing unique local action plans to increase the quantity and quality of play in their community.
Sponsored by the Humana Foundation, Playful City USA is a national program from KaBOOM! that celebrates and promotes local policies that increase play opportunities for children.
“Receiving another Playful City USA designation is a great honor for our Council, staff and residents,” said Mayor Michael Pizzi. “Miami Lakes has made even greater strides to improve the quality of services for our town’s children. This past year, we opened our state-of-the-art Youth Center, established a Youth Council, and have continued to expand our family-friendly programs that educate youth, and provided them with a lot of fun.”
