The Women's Park is dedicated to all women in Miami-Dade County in recognition of their diverse contributions to improving our community's quality of life.

This 15-acre lakeside park also features a picnic pavilion and children's playground. In addition, The Women's Park and Roxcy O'Neal Bolton Women's History Gallery offers exhibit space for historical materials and art shows.

History of The Women's Park
The Women's Park, which was officially dedicated in 1992, began as the dream of pioneer feminist Roxcy Bolton, who envisioned a park and history gallery in honor of all the women of Miami-Dade County and their contributions to our community.

In the early 1990's a broad-based coalition of women leaders lobbied for the creation of the park. The then Miami-Dade County Mayor, the late Stephen P. Clark , gave his support, and the County Commission unanimously approved the resolution creating the park in June, 1992. A committee was formed to direct the park's development. Chaired by County Court Judge Bonnie Lano Rippingille, the Founders Committee members included Bolton, Molly Turner, Diane Brant, Leona Cooper, the late Monna Lighte, State's Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle, Dorothy Jenkins Fields, State Rep. Elaine Gordon, the late Opa Locka Vice-Mayor Helen Miller, Dr. Patricia Clements, and Teresa Zorrilla Clark.

The Roxcy O'Neal Bolton Women's History Gallery
The Women's Park History Gallery, a 6,000-square foot facility that opened November 4, 2000, provides space for meetings, cultural events, and exhibits depicting women's history and achievements. The building design — octagonal exhibit hall, covered terraces, keystone veneer wall, and a 1800's cast-iron bell — is the result of collaboration among women-owned firms under the direction of Ana Alleguez, a Coral Gables architect. The building will have a lecture hall, restrooms and staff accommodations. Funding for the gallery comes from a $1 million grant from the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond program and Quality Neighborhoods Improvement Program.
