Losner Park in Homestead, Florida, has been transformed from a modest 0.68-acre space adjacent to a large parking lot into a vibrant 3-acre green oasis. Located at the geographic crossroads of The Florida Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, the project celebrates Homestead’s identity as a gateway to nature while supporting the local community.
The site plan and hardscape design were led by a planning firm, with the landscape architects brought on to develop the planting design. This collaborative approach ensured a seamless integration of built and natural elements. The design team worked closely with the City of Homestead to create a park that is both resilient and accessible, while reflecting the city’s unique culture and community spirit.
The planting design pays homage to the region's ecological richness. Over 150 unique plant species, sourced from local nurseries, were incorporated into the park. The lush, biodiverse palette combines native plants with rare tropical species, enhancing the park’s aesthetic while fostering habitats for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
The original concept aimed to integrate mature trees relocated from the site into the planting design. Unfortunately, many of these trees were damaged during the relocation process and could not be used. This challenge became an opportunity to support Homestead’s local economy. Compensation funds from the relocation company were reinvested into the community by sourcing plants directly from Homestead's local nurseries, renowned for their rich horticultural heritage.
This approach not only strengthened ties with local growers but also enriched the planting palette with regionally appropriate and native species. Local plantsmen were enthusiastic about contributing to the transformation of their city, knowing they and their families could enjoy the park while supporting South Florida’s biodiversity.
Today, Losner Park is a thriving community hub—a place where families gather, children play, and residents enjoy the beauty of the outdoors. Designed to grow with the community, the park is a testament to the enduring connection between nature and urban life and will remain a cherished space for generations to come.
