Three recent stories about life in Miramar covered several topics — new armed security at critical infrastructure, park playground closures and reopenings and a packed slate of upcoming track meets at the Ansin Sports Complex.
Here’s a rundown to catch up:
Story 1: Miramar to add armed security guards at water plants. Here’s what it will cost
Miramar has shifted from unarmed to armed security at its water and wastewater plants, signing a three-year, $2.2 million-plus contract with Securtec of Florida to provide 24/7 protection. City leaders say the move is needed to better safeguard critical infrastructure, and the deal also expands armed coverage to additional city facilities during business hours and special events.
Story 2: One Miramar playground reopens while another undergoes repairs. Here’s the latest
After both playgrounds at Miramar Regional Park were shut down in December over corrosion and safety concerns, one has now reopened while the other is being dismantled for repairs. The city is moving ahead with a nearly $685,000 replacement project, and families are being directed to the safe, open play area and to Vizcaya Park, which has also reopened with posted hours.
Story 3: Ansin Sports Complex releases calendar of pro, youth track meets. Here’s the lineup
The Ansin Sports Complex has rolled out a busy calendar of track and field events, ranging from youth club meets and elite high school competitions to a high-profile event featuring Olympic athletes. Fans can look forward to marquee events such as the Miramar Invitational and HBCU Relays Experience, plus a string of meets that will bring top athletes to the city through June.
