Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, August 16, 2026 —
Miami’s popular linear park, The Underline, has officially opened its first dedicated playground. The new space, named the Nikki Spoelstra Play Forest, is situated near Miami City Hall, offering a new recreational amenity for families in the area.

In addition to the new playground, sections eight and nine of The Underline are now open to the public. These newly accessible areas contribute to the growing footprint of the park, connecting more of the city and providing green space for residents and visitors.
