Chuck Pezoldt Park Community Center and Library

The Chuck Pezoldt Park Community Center and Library is a new 19,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility located within the 38-acre Chuck Pezoldt Park in Miami-Dade County. Designed to foster community engagement and wellness, the center will include a gym, multi-purpose rooms, a café, a library, and a U-media lab, all arranged around a flexible outdoor courtyard. A 1-mile walking path further enhances the park’s recreational offerings, all within a sustainable and inclusive environment.

As part of a long-term master plan adopted in 2001, Miami-Dade Parks envisioned this project as a key enhancement to Chuck Pezoldt Park’s role as a community park supporting nearby neighborhood parks. This development marks a significant milestone in bringing that vision to life.

With a $21.5 million investment, the project broke ground and is on track for completion in September 2026. GRAEF provided civil engineering, traffic engineering, and construction engineering and observation services, ensuring seamless integration of infrastructure and design. Our work supports the County’s goals for accessibility, sustainability, and long-term community enrichment—laying the groundwork for future phases of the park’s development.
