#SaveSchenleyPark
Along with the growth of the main campus of Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, several different issues have come to the attention of the homeowners directly adjacent to the property.
Throughout the years, the growth of the hospital and population has caused over- development, and it has been difficult to communicate residents’ concerns to the hospital and Miami-Dade County.
Your voice matters.
Through this forum, residents can voice their concerns on our Facebook group, access contact information, and advocate for the community's needs, united as one voice.

Grievances
As expressed by Schenley Park Homeowners
Lights and Lighting
For decades, the homeowners have complained about the bright lights. The lights are from the car park, signage, and vehicles. Both car lights and emergency vehicles.
Vita Trail
The hospital is building a fitness course outside of its fence, with little or no input from the adjacent homes. Against the homeowners wishes. Adding unwanted construction and unwanted additional lighting to the areas around the campus. As well as causing the removal of green spaces that buffer the hospital from the neighborhood. The concrete slabs will cause more flooding.
Street Flooding
As the hospital’s footprint has grown, the construction has caused overdevelopment which then in turn causes flooding in some of the streets adjoining the campus. Rainwater is now causing damage to the homes around the hospital. Also blocking access to the hospital. Specifically, along 6oth Court between SW 33rd Street and SW 30thStreet

Testimonies
Ramon Abreu from 30th Street
“The car lights from the parking lot and the car alarms echoe and disturbs our sleep”
Celia Queijeiro from 30th Street
“ The hospital employees speed by our street and make lots of noise. The construction and helicopter noise has ruined our peaceful neighborhood.”
Lilly Perez from 33rd Street
“The hospital chillers kept us up during construction. The hospital work crews start before 7:00AM and wake us up.”
Henry Serrano from 60th Court
“Our lawn gets flooded when it rains hard. There are trucks always driving through a residential area.”
