The Greynolds Park Boathouse is the architectural centerpiece of this historic 265 acre park, one of the most beautiful parks in the Miami-Dade County system. Created from a rock quarry, it was built as part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal programs in 1936. William Lyman Phillips, landscape architect and partner in the landscape architectural firm of Frederick Law Olmsted, supervised a crew of Civilian Conservation Corps workers in the design and construction of the park. R.J. Heisenbottle Architects completed work on the restoration and rehabilitation of the Boathouse, which included ADA and life safety code compliance, structural repairs, widow replacement and MEP upgrades.
