Pinecrest

By the late 1990s, Pinecrest had become an affluent area. The Village of Pinecrest was incorporated in March of 1996. Evelyn Greer was elected the first mayor and was succeeded, after serving two terms, by Matzner in 2004. The founding Village Council was credited with establishing well-regarded municipal services, including police, parks and recreation, building and planning services, and public works. 

 

Pinecrest Gardens is the crown jewel of the village's park system. Known as South Florida's Cultural Arts Park, it is a massive park featuring over 1,000 varieties of exotic tropical plants and trees. The park offers a beautiful landscape featuring natural streams, sinkholes, caves, and fissures.
