Click on above link to read part of the Broward Beautiful Grant, that South Middle River Civic Association was granted in 2007, to beautify the street closures along Sunrise Blvd. at NW 2 Ave., 3rd Ave., 4th Ave., 5th Ave., 6th Ave., and 7th Ter. 

Drought tolerant, Florida native species were planted at the request of Broward Beautiful. As a result of this neighborhood project, the community has become alive and volunteers are motivated to care for these “nature” areas.

This is the gateway to the famous Fort Lauderdale Beach.
