The local community will also benefit from the project, as Ives Estates Park will be able to attract a greater range of youth athletic competitions and community activities. This is the Orange Bowl’s third Legacy Gift to the South Florida community. In January 2011, the Orange Bowl, in conjunction with the City of Miami, cut the ribbon on Orange Bowl Field at Moore Park, a much needed youth football stadium and facilities at urban Miami’s inner city Moore Park. It was the culmination of a legacy gift initiative the Orange Bowl spearheaded in recognition of its 75th anniversary in 2008-09. Moore Park is the site of the 1933 and 1934 Palm Festivals, the predecessor of the Orange Bowl Festival. In 2013, the Orange Bowl, in conjunction with the City of Fort Lauderdale cut the ribbon to unveil renovations to Joseph C. Carter Park in Fort Lauderdale. Renovations at Carter Park included the installation of a new synthetic turf football field, now called Orange Bowl Field at Carter Park, an eight lane track, enhanced spectator areas and new scoreboard. Combined, the Orange Bowl Legacy Gift projects have provided approximately $10 million worth of improvements toward the beautification of the South Florida community and recreational park activities for residents and their families.
