No two classes are the same! Students will work the session to improve cardiovascular stamina, core strength, & flexibility.

AQUATIC FACILITY
DORAL LEGACY PARK
MORGAN LEVY PARK SYNTHETIC TURF
Located at NW 82nd Street and 114th
Avenue, the future Doral Legacy Park is
conceived as a place in which the community
can gather to enjoy sports, cultural arts, and
nature in a safe environment that is
representative of the beautiful City of Doral.
The park will encompass 18+ acres in the
section 7 area of Doral. Clearing of the park
site began on April 2, 2015 and as of October
17, 2015 the vertical construction was
underway. The park is estimated to be
completed in the Summer of 2016.
The City of Doral is working on the conceptual design for a proposed aquatic facility along with
the cost estimates, which was approved by the Mayor and Council. The City hosted a
community workshop on March 16, 2016 at 6:30pm in the Morgan Levy Park Community Center
located at 5300 NW 102nd Avenue. The City Council held a workshop on April 5, 2016 to finalize
the conceptual, estimated construction, and operational and revenue costs. The Final Revised
Conceptual will be considered at the May Council Meeting.

This project consists of the removal of the current synthetic turf fields at Morgan Levy Park which are over 8 years old followed by drainage work and the installation of new synthetic turf fields. The new synthetic turf fields will feature slit film fibers which have a proven track record of durability. The project is estimated to take 10-12 weeks to completed once the removal process of the old turf has begun.

CLASS POLICIES
All classes are 50-60 minutes in length unless otherwise noted. Classes and instructors are subject to change. We do not like to cancel any classes however, because each class is self-supporting, we must establish a minimum enrollment (5) and cancel those classes that do not meet this minimum. Please remember to register early to avoid cancellations. Space is limited. Class enrollment is based on first-come, first-serve basis. All classes must be taken within the specified session period. Programs will not be pro-rated due to late registrations. Class rates reflect missed classes due to Holidays, Teacher Planning Days (classes scheduled after 6pm will not be affected), and Special Activities. Please see program descriptions for the dates when classes will not be offered.
To ensure that children remain focused and classes are not interrupted, parents are not permitted in the rooms while classes are in session. Parents need to drop off their children 5 minutes before each class and be ready for pick-up 5 minutes after the class to ensure that classes begin promptly and minimize interruptions.
RAINY DAY POLICY
Classes that take place indoors, will not be cancelled on rainy days. If there is threat of a tropical storm or hurricane, please call Morgan Levy Park for the latest information regarding closing of parks and cancellation of programs.
