An outdoor gym erected by the city of Miami, Fla., last month in Maurice A. Ferre Park must be removed, a city board ruled Wednesday night, marking a victory for neighboring residents who have fought projects erasing green space in the downtown bayfront park.

As reported by the Miami Herald, the gym was installed at the behest of the Bayfront Park Management Trust and its chair, Miami commissioner Joe Carollo. It was not included in the city’s master plan and should not have been approved, said members of the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board, who voted 5-2 to reverse the planning department’s decision to grant permission for the gym and the pavement surrounding it. Unless city commissioners overrule the board, the exercise equipment will have to be ripped out, a planning department official acknowledged, as reported by the Herald.
