Miami Lakes is known as one of the most beautiful residential areas in South Florida for its tree-lined streets, large
estate lots, and extremely low crime rate.
We provide our residents with friendly and helpful service through our departments, including Community and
Leisure Services, Neighborhood Services, Public Works and Capital Improvements, Economic Development, and
Police Departments.
The Town of Miami Lakes Community & Leisure Services Department is responsible for overseeing one of the most
unique parks systems in Miami-Dade County consisting of 101 total park locations in a 6.5 square mile area. With a
park in walking distance of almost every neighborhood in the Town, there is always something to see and do in a park
or a recreation facility each and every day. You will find a program, an activity, special event, or a special place that
brings you back again and again. We are just around the corner, we have something for everyone, and the benefits
are endless.
Over the last 50 years, Miami Lakes has progressed from a dream on paper into a reality. This vibrant community
is nationally recognized as one of the best examples of unique and innovative town planning with lakes and canals
making up about 11% of land use.
For residents, all of this means that one can
enjoy a quality of life that is second to none—
natural scenic beauty, and a vibrant cultural
environment. Also one of the safest communities
in South Florida, several Miami Lakes’ schools
have maintained high ratings for the past seven
years.
For businesses, Miami Lakes offers an ideal
environment for success. Some of the country’s
most respected companies reside here, Johnson
& Johnson, Caterpillar, and BankUnited among
others, enticed by a highly-educated, skilled,
and multilingual workforce.
Our number one goal is to continue with the
enhancement of Miami Lakes’ quality of life
and unique community feel through visionary
land use planning, efficient provision of
public facilities and services, protection of
neighborhoods, and conservation of the natural
assets which define the town.
