Miami Worldcenter (formerly Park West) is a Metromover station in the Park West neighborhood of Downtown, Miami, Florida. [1]
The station is located at the intersection of Northeast Second Avenue and Eighth Street. It opened to service under the name Park West on May 26, 1994, and is two blocks northwest of the Miami-Dade Arena. [2]
On January 6, 2025, the station completely closed for heavy renovation, overhauling platform seating and flooring, entrance escalators and canopies, lighting, and paint. Metromover cars were made to bypass the station and riders were advised to use other stations in the meantime. [2] [3]
Renovations finished and the station reopened in September 2025, and the station's name was renamed Miami Worldcenter after the adjacent mixed-use development of the same name. [4] Commissioner Keon Hardamon stated that the renaming was to honor and identify Miami Worldcenter as a symbol of Downtown's revitalization, and an expected positive force for tourism in Miami. [5]
Mr. Hardemon's resolution says reasons to hand the ... name to the Miami Worldcenter development are that it is 'critically important to the economic revitalization and enhancement of the Downtown Miami area ... ' and that it would 'promote and identify this landmark which is expected to have a positive impact on the growth of our local economy and the tourism industry.'
