SUN-SENTINEL – CURIOUS ABOUT THE RED PLATFORM AT TAMARAC’S SUNSET POINT? FIND OUT WHAT’S NEW AT 4 SOUTH FLORIDA PARKS

‘Sunset Hammock’ at Sunset Point Park 11000 W. McNab Road, Tamarac.

Have you been curious about the fire-engine red platform rising above the tree line at Tamarac’s Sunset Point Park?

It’s called “Sunset Hammock,” and it’s a new public art installation that features an observational boardwalk with a 200- foot modular red aluminum walkway, a 20-by-3-foot community periscope that reflects the horizon, and a communal gathering space, according to the city.

Designed by artist Margi Glavovic Nothard, the structure “emphasizes the importance of the Everglades in maintaining an ecological equilibrium in South Florida.” Nothard said the piece “renders saturated moments in time as the day reveals itself, increasing its intensity in color, view and connectivity to the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States,” according to the artist’s website.
