Background
Aleyda Mas Park is a 5-acre property located at 11855 SW 60th Avenue purchased by the Village in January 2024. The Village Council approved the purchase of the property during the 2023 November Council Meeting after discussing the possibility of acquiring property to use as a nature-and-recreation park during seven Council meetings, with the first being during the 2023 April Council meeting. The property will fulfill the Village Council’s commitment to having a green space within one mile or a 10-to-15-minute walk of every resident.
The property has exotic trees and plants, trails, a lagoon, and a large resort-like house. The Village plans to create a nature-and-recreation park and indoor facility with its new acquisition. The property is horticulturally significant because it was originally owned by the Montgomery family, who are popularly known as the founders of Fairchild Gardens.

The future of Aleyda Mas Park is taking shape! Construction is set to begin soon, and while we're still about a year away from welcoming everyone through the doors, now is the time to help us plan the programs and activities that will bring this incredible new community space to life when it opens in Fall 2027.
The park's design was created using feedback from our 2022 Parks and Recreation Master Plan and the Aleyda Mas Park Community Survey conducted in December 2024.
Thanks to your input, we've designed a space built around our community's vision. Now, we're entering the next exciting phase, developing the programs, classes, workshops, and recreational opportunities that will fill the park with energy from day one. Your feedback will directly influence the experiences offered by the Pinecrest Parks and Recreation Department for years to come.
Whether you're interested in fitness, arts, cooking, lifelong learning, youth programs, special events, or new recreational opportunities, we want to hear from you. This is your chance to help create a welcoming place where our community can play, learn, connect, and thrive. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey by Friday, August 7, 2026. As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of three FREE pairs of tickets to the Pinecrest Zombie Run this October! (Limit one entry per person.)
We also encourage you to share the survey with your family, friends, and neighbors. The more voices we hear, the better we can create a park that reflects the interests and needs of our entire community.
Together, we're building more than a park, we're creating a place where residents of all ages can stay active, learn new skills, enjoy recreation, and make lasting memories. We can't wait to hear your ideas!
