Angela Petruzzelli Appointed to Miami-Dade County Parks Advisory Board

Miami-Dade County residents will see a familiar face contributing to local green spaces, as Angela Petruzzelli, a long-time resident of the Palmetto Bay area nestled along Biscayne Bay, was officially appointed to the Miami-Dade County Parks and Recreation Citizens Advisory Committee last week. The appointment, confirmed during the County Commission meeting on April 2, 2026, places Petruzzelli in a key role advising on the development and maintenance of parks, natural areas, and recreational facilities across the county.

Petruzzelli, known for her active involvement in community beautification projects and her advocacy for accessible public spaces, brings a wealth of local perspective to the committee. Her appointment is for a two-year term, and she will be attending her first official meeting next month, on May 14, 2026, at the Stephen P. Clark Center in the heart of downtown Miami.

The Citizens Advisory Committee plays a vital role in ensuring that the county's parks system, from urban oases like Bayfront Park to expansive natural preserves, meets the needs of its diverse communities. Residents interested in learning more about the committee's work or upcoming park initiatives can find information on the Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department website.
