Lummus Park (12th St - 11th St)

Last crawled date: 1 year, 7 months ago

Well-known Lummus Park is on the Atlantic Ocean in the City of Miami Beach, and when redesigned and improved in the mid-1980s, it became the seed project for the redevelopment of what is now the Ocean Drive Deco District of SoBe (South Beach) from 5th to 15th Streets along Ocean Drive. The Miami Beach park initially became the location for many scenes from the television series 'Miami Vice', and its 20' wide Deco inspired three colored sidewalk, now faded to natural concrete, was the North American homage to Brazilian Landscape Architect Roberto Burle Marx's oceanfront walk along Copacabana Beach near Rio de Janeiro. The Miami Beach park, and the Deco streetscape along Ocean Drive continues to be featured in 'Miami' location shots for television and movies, and can be seen in recent episodes of the USA Network's 'Burn Notice'. #1980s #activists #added #Alto #art #atlantic #ave #avenue #be #beach #clear #clifton #collins #Deco #decorations #description #design #Detailed #downtown #dr #drive #espagnola #espanola #font #hotel #league #lummus #mediterranean #metropole #miami #MiMo #minor #ocean #Original #park #postcards #preservation #red #redo #revival #rounded #similar #simone #some #soon #south #square #st #steve_madden #straps #street #style #the #The_National_Hotel #walburne #warm #water #way #website #wrapped
