In 2015 we warned you that the new Miami Springs pool was going to be much smaller than the grand olympic sized pool we had for over 50 years. We also informed you that much of the money was going into creating more buildings. In other words, more building space. Less pool space. Now you can see the construction of the new pool with your own eyes. Total construction cost: $5 MILLION.
Park Street in front of the Miami Springs Police Station has been renamed Officer Don Mazzone Way by both Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami Springs in honor of the legendary police officer who passed away this year.
The City of Miami Springs posted the following statement on social media on Monday:
