Overview

Soundscape Park is a 2.5-acre urban green space located directly adjacent to the New World Center in Miami Beach. Its most distinctive feature is a 7,000-square-foot projection wall that broadcasts live high-definition Wallcast concerts and films. The park was designed by Dutch architecture firm West 8, incorporating wavy concrete paths and lush subtropical landscaping. The layout features a specialized sound system designed for acoustic clarity during outdoor performances. It serves as the primary outdoor venue for the New World Symphony. The grounds are integrated into the Miami Beach Convention Center campus. The park is managed in partnership with the City of Miami Beach to provide public cultural programming. The space is entirely open-air with tiered lawn sections for optimal visibility of the projection wall.

Insider tips

Bring a blanket or low-profile lawn chair, as the concrete slopes are best enjoyed with extra padding.

Check the official New World Symphony calendar for Wallcast schedules before arriving, as the projection screen is not active daily.

Pack bug spray, as mosquitoes can be active in the park during humid Florida evenings.

What to avoid

Do not assume the projection wall is active every night; always verify the schedule to avoid arriving on a 'dark' night with no screenings.

Good to know

Wallcast events generally occur from late autumn through spring; the park remains open for general use year-round.

Etiquette

Casual, though dogs must be kept on a leash and owners are required to clean up after pets; glass containers are prohibited.
