Salute to Service Volunteer Day

The Mission Continues Miami 1st Service Platoon has been working at Seminole Wayside for over a year helping to bring the park back to the community. Lack of funding and resources made it extremely difficult to maintain this park and its beautiful nature preserve pine rockland habitat. Over the years the park became plagued with debris and trash, however with the help of the Miami 1st Service Platoon, community volunteers, love, and tons of sweat equity the park has been revived and is becoming a great destination for families in South Dade and the neighboring military base. On Nov. 2nd, 2019 please join the Miami 1st Service Platoon, Miami-Dade Parks and United Way of Miami-Dade as we continue beautification efforts at this park. We will be removing some trash/debris in the park and the nature preserve, removing invasive plants species, and planting new native plants. We will also be decorating rain barrels for rain water collection to promote water conservation/recycling. This is a family friendly event that will include an educational nature walk along the walking trail around the preserve for volunteers and their families along with additional family fun and activities.
