Pinecrest Entertainment Venue Revival

August 19th, 2010 Categories: Pinecrest

The Village of Pinecrest is looking into making better use of the Banyan Bowl amphitheater, located within Pinecrest Gardens.

Pinecrest commissioned a study which included the opinion of Pinecrest residents to discover whether the initiative would be welcomed by them.  Overwhelmingly, the majority of Pinecrest residents are on board for using the 500-seat amphitheater to bring cultural events such as music and theater to Pinecrest.

The study indicated that there are plenty of theater and music groups that could make use of the Banyan Bowl if it were upgraded.

Pinecrest Adopt-a-Tree Program

July 13th, 2010 Categories: Community News, Pinecrest

Are you a Pinecrest resident wanting a tree on the swale outside your property?  Although the right-of-way property is not legally the homeowner’s, the public swale is to be maintained by the homeowner.  And who doesn’t want to keep their surroundings looking pretty?

Pinecrest has an Adopt-a-Tree program which provides trees at low-bid prices for interested homeowners.  Pinecrest has been designated as a Tree City, USA by the Arbor Day Foundation for their commitment to community forestry. The Village of Pinecrest has planted over 10,000 trees since 1997.  Not shabby at all.

If you’d like more information about the Pinecrest Adopt-a-Tree program, click on the link.

And remember that Miami-Dade County still has it’s own program where they give two trees per year to homeowners of single family or townhome properties in the county.
