Ahhhh February- the month of candy hearts, chocolate kisses, delicious South Florida weather and love. So what better month to fall in love with Palmetto Bay all over again! This month Palmetto Bay is hosting many events that give our residents a taste of why Palmetto Bay is such an amazing place to live. Our Camping in the Park event was a fun filled day and night and included a night hike, kayak adventures, animal encounter, archery, camp fire, arts & crafts, s’mores, and Incredibles 2 on the big screen! Also in February, Drive In Movie Night, Pineland Clean up at Coral Reef Park, Birdwatching, and one of my favorites, Wine glass painting with our friends at Art South.

We want to make your experience in Palmetto Bay a memorable one. Our entryways are getting a noticeable “facelift” with new landscaping to beautify the locations. So far, new flowering plants and trees have been planted at the intersections of Old Cutler Road and SW 136th Street and Old Cutler Road and SW 184th Street. The two entry points at US1 will be next! Street by Street and Park by Park we are working to improve, enhance and beautify the public right-of-ways and spaces in our Village. This is just the beginning…
