Grapeland Heights

In May 2008, Grapeland Water Park opened next to the Melreese Country Club. Designed by the Pop artist Romero Britto, the Grapeland Water Park was the first water park to open in Miami. The park is also the largest city park in Grapeland Heights, and has proved very popular amongst young Miamians. In June 2011, it received national recognition from the City Parks Alliance chosen for its excellence in design and innovation. In 2026, Nu Stadium will be opened at Miami Freedom Park, directly attached to Grapeland Water Park. ==Geography==
