Virrick Park is an existing City park within a residential neighborhood. Is located at 3255
Plaza Street in Coconut Grove. Currently, the park has several facilities for the diversified
activities that take place within the park; the existing facilities are 2 existing basketball
courts, a swimming pool and concession area, a shelter area, an existing community center,
a soccer field, two playgrounds and a gymnasium.
The Virrick Park Library is a City project to build a 4065 S.F. Public Library in the
northeast corner of the park. The park will receive a grant from the Public Library System
and will be complemented by Homeland Defense Funds.
The entire Park is approximately 202,554 square feet in area and the entire site is under one
ownership, City of Miami.
We are requesting a Special Exception, as per Article 4, Section 4.01, under Conditional
Principal Uses of PR Parks, Recreation and Open Space, to allow the construction of a
Library by Special Exception with City Commission approval in PR Parks, Recreation and
Open Space Districts.
The granting of this Special Exception will provide great opportunity to this neighborhood
to have a Library to this park heavily used by local residents located well within walking
distance of their homes.
