Jose Marti Community Gymnasium & Park

As a unique solution to the site’s size constraints and urban setting, Zyscovich elevated the building to span the street, avoiding the underground communication cables and water and sewer lines. The facility includes a gymnasium, a fitness center, an aerobics facility, locker rooms, administrative offices, storage areas and a seating area for 500 people, which provides an additional community meeting place for Miami residents. In addition, the master plan and siting of the building improves the park’s connection to the Miami River at the southeast end of the park.
