Losner Park

A Green Haven in the City Center

Tucked in the heart of downtown Homestead, Florida, Losner Park has blossomed from its modest 0.68-acre beginnings into a sprawling 3-acre retreat. This verdant space is both a literal and symbolic center for the community, where natural beauty meets practical amenities.

Echoes of South Florida's Natural Wonders

Walk through Losner Park and you'll notice how it pays homage to its South Florida roots. The design cleverly mirrors the landscapes of the nearby Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. You can meander along paths that wind through planting mounds - little nods to the hammocks that rise from the Everglades. Take a moment to rest on one of the many benches nestled under the cooling shade of the tree canopy.

The park's recent expansion brought with it an abundance of native South Florida plants, creating that distinctive lush, tropical feel that makes this corner of Florida so special.

Kid-Friendly Adventure Zone

At the heart of the park lies a playground that feels like it's part of the landscape itself. This adventure-style play area, surrounded by native vegetation, offers climbing structures, slides, swings, and sculptural pieces that cater to kids of all ages.

The playground reflects Florida's unique coastal geography through its color choices and topographical features. It's a space where children can explore freely while connecting with elements of their local environment.

Spaces for Community Gatherings

Just south of the playground, you'll come across a covered stage facing an event lawn lined with stately sabal palms. This versatile space can hold over 1,500 people and hosts everything from summer concerts to community performances.

For smaller gatherings, the park offers several intimate event lawns scattered within the grounds - ideal spots for family picnics or casual meetups.

Honoring Those Who Served

On the western edge of the park, next to the police station, stands a dignified Veterans' Memorial. This table-height granite monument pays tribute to Homestead locals who have served in the military - a quiet place for reflection and respect.

A Connection to Downtown

Completed in November 2022, Losner Park's redesign adds a green touch to downtown Homestead. It offers a peaceful escape for locals and visitors while connecting to the broader South Florida region, including the nearby Everglades and Biscayne National Parks.
