West Park City Hall

Composed of the previously unincorporated neighborhoods of Lake Forest, Carver Ranches, Utopia and Miami Gardens, West Park became a city on March 1, 2005. The name comes from the fact most of the city is west of Pembroke Park and the organizers felt "West Park" would do until a more permanent name was decided on.
