Today, we proudly celebrate Park and Recreation Professionals Day — a moment to honor the dedicated individuals who bring #ThePowerOf parks to life every single day. Parks are more than green spaces — they connect us, strengthen our well‑being, preserve our natural and cultural heritage, and create places where memories are made. None of that is possible without the passionate professionals who maintain our grounds, lead our programs, share our history, protect our ecosystems, and ensure every visitor feels welcomed and inspired. To all Miami-Dade Parks and Deering Estate staff, thank you for your commitment to keeping our parks clean, safe, vibrant, inclusive, and ready for the community to enjoy. Your work builds stronger, more resilient communities and reflects the true Power of Parks. Image: Jack Penney nrpa #NRPAParkAndRecDay #ParkAndRecMonth2026 #DeeringEstate
