The Office of Film & Entertainment, in close collaboration with Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces launched the Miami-Dade County Parks virtual tour. This virtual interactive map helps users find the perfect park for film production location needs. Miami-Dade County has one of the largest parks systems in the United States. Each Park has its own special character and ambiance.
