City of Miami Parks
Launches Dive In Movies
Join Black Beard and all his pirates for our
outdoor movies at Grapeland Water Park.
Every third Saturday of the month for $5
admission into the park you can enjoy a
movie under the stars.
Summer is only a few months away and for many
teens a summer job is on the priority list. One
of the more popular jobs is being a lifeguard at
a summer pool. In order to qualify as a
lifeguard, a teen needs to take a certification
class and pass the exam. The City of Miami Parks
department offers classes at four of their
pools. Taking and passing the certification does
not guarantee a teen a job but does allow them
to apply to all the municipalities with the
required certification for the opportunity for a
job.Check out our flyer -
Class Times and Locations or call one of our
pool locations for more information
