February 26, 2021

Miami’s Metrorail has opened its doors and space for the newest 10-mile long park called ‘The Underline.’ It is located on the underside of the Miami Metrorail. Once it is complete, it will begin in Downtown Miami stretching 10-miles all the way to South Miami.

The spaces will be filed with a bike/walking path, exercise areas, butterfly gardens, dog parks, performance areas and even horticultural designs by Fairchild Tropical Garden.

This city has just finished phase 1 of this park with phases continuing through 2025. The first half-mile from Brickell Station to Vizcaya Station is now open for exploration.

According to theUnderline.org, the 10-mile park will be separated into 4 separate areas, with each area having its’ own special purpose and features.

• River Room
  • Separated walking and biking paths
  • Dog friendly with dog bowls, clean up bags, and play space
  • Native vegetation

  • Half-court basketball or soccer field
  • Running track

  • Sound stage
  • Gaming station
  • Outdoor dining area
• Oolite Room
  • 20 butterfly gardens along the 10-mile park

The designers are hoping it’ll serve as a space to improve the safety and healthy lifestyles of Miami residents as well as visitors. Phase 2 is set to begin soon and will start at Vizcaya Station.
