About this audio guide
This guide to Maurice A. Ferré Park in Miami centers on a rare Miami move: naming a park after someone still alive, done in January 2019 for Maurice Ferré as he faced terminal cancer. You'll hear about Ferré's path from Ponce, Puerto Rico to twelve years as Miami's first Puerto Rican mayor, and how this thirty-acre bayfront ground had already been Bicentennial Park and Museum Park before it took his name. It traces the site's history as a working port stretching back decades.
