A message from the

N ow that school is back in session, the City is gearing up for after school and extracurricular youth activities at the War Memorial Youth Center. We hope you and

your family will take advantage of the wonderful recreational and cultural programming that the City offers.

We also are on the road to building a better Coral Gables. You can look forward to numerous projects that will be coming in the near future. We will be developing two new passive parks located at 4650 Alhambra Circle and 5208 Maggiore Street, as well as making improvements to Ingraham Park and the Fred B. Hartnett Park/Ponce Circle Park. These parks will not only further enhance their surrounding neighborhoods, but also enrich the entire City.

The City was recently honored for the fourth year in a row as a Playful City USA, which is an award given to just over 200 communities nationwide and recognizes our ongoing commitment to healthy play and physical activity. In this spirit, the William H. Kerdyk Biltmore Tennis Center will be renovated, and the City is planning a new senior/multi-purpose center as well as a downtown civic plaza and garden. We are also beginning the process of making the City more bike friendly by developing a comprehensive bike master plan and additional bike paths.

You can keep up with our calendar of events and recreational programming on our website at www.coralgables.com. While you are on the home page, please take a moment to sign up for the City’s e-News to receive timely announcements and information on City services, attractions and events.

Come participate in one of the many great programs, or volunteer to help make our City even better. There may never have been a better time to be in Coral Gables and to take advantage of all that it has to offer.

ON THE COVER

A GLORIOUS 4TH OF JULY!We hope you were able to attend and enjoy the return of this Coral Gables tradition of music and fireworks as much as we enjoyed having you at this wonderful and unforgettable evening! Mayor Jim Cason and members of the Commission asked staff to bring back the Independence Day favorite after a five-year hiatus with the help of corporate sponsors. Previously, the City paid for the event; this year corporate underwriting helped pay for 90 percent of the event’s costs. A special thanks to Bacardi U.S.A., Inc. for their sponsorship and involvement in the July 4th Fireworks Celebration, helping to make the event a huge success.
