Maurice Gibb gets a park

Shortly before the Winter Music Conference kicked off, Miami has inaugurated a park (formerly Island View Park at Purdy Avenue and 18 Street) bearing the name of a famous former resident; the late Maurice Gibb. Miami Beach's mayor, Maurice's family, mother Barbara, brothers Barry and Robin, friends and fans attended.

The Gibb clan has been part of the Miami Beach community for a long time. Maurice Gibb frequented the park, even when he and his brothers were not
recording. That is why, after his untimely death in 2003, his family and the City of Miami Beach worked
together to honor his memory at that very site.
