Melreese is expected to be transformed into Miami Freedom Park, a massive complex with a 25,000-seat soccer stadium, office park, hotel, retail shops and a 58-acre public park.Once the operator leaves there’s a good chance the Country Club facilities will be vandalized and the course overgrown and destroyed - and the intended project not get built- leaving a useless, unusable eyesore for generations- given City of Miami history managing things - Miami Marine Stadium, Historic Virginia Key Beach, former Bicentennial Park.
