Doral Glades Park Boardwalk and Wetland Preserve

Doral Glades Park is a 25-acre recreational facility in the northeast section of the City. Both passive and active elements were featured, including playing fields, community and nature pavilions, fishing pier, walking trail and wetland boardwalk. Miller Legg provided both design and permitting services as well as wetland and boardwalk construction administration services, using GIS and surface water management support.  The scope included coordination with the City on permit compliance, exotic species removal, native species and maintenance programs; value engineering and design for the boardwalk(s) and pier(s).

Miller Legg developed a Wetland Mitigation Plan including GIS maps and habitat evaluation for placement of the boardwalks in ideal locations within the wetland. These Plans captured data from the original permits issued by environmental agencies DERM, SFWMD and USACOE. Further, Miller Legg prepared construction drawings for the upland boardwalk, pavilion, wetland boardwalk and fishing pier. Finally, the firm was responsible for the preparation of environmental resource permit (ERP) modification applications for boardwalk and planting in wetland areas.

Amenities at the park include: kayak launch, fishing pier, lake, playground, picnic areas, boardwalks, a Green Globe Certified (LEED Silver) nature center, bike lanes, basketball courts, tennis courts and multi-use fields.
