Guided Tours of Historic Downtown and OPF
The 15-station outdoor trail is the city’s first-ever permanent historical experience that’s open to the public 24/7. Located in the historic downtown district, the Opa-locka Heritage Trail tells the founding history of the city, including the people, industries, and ideas that made it one of the most exciting places to be during the mid-to-late 1920s.
Funded by non-profit Ten North Group, this was a partnership between the City of Opa-locka and the Opa-locka Preservation Association.
The Trail begins at the historic fire and police station, located at 151 N. Perviz Avenue, Opa-locka, FL 33054, and continues south on Perviz Avenue until Ali Baba Avenue, and then goes north on Opa-locka Boulevard finishing behind historic city hall.

Founded in 2022, the Opa-locka Preservation Association (OPA) is committed to preserving, protecting, and celebrating the historic and environmental character of Opa-locka, a uniquely storied city in Miami-Dade County incorporated in 1926. Comprised largely of local homeowners and residents, OPA works to uplift and beautify both public and private spaces throughout the community. Through its efforts, the organization also fosters awareness and appreciation of Opa-locka’s rich 100-year history.
Opa-locka Preservation Association, its web domain www.discoveropalocka.org, and social presence exist with the primary mission to preserve the full history of the city of Opa-locka, which includes archival work, digital campaign strategy, and planned projects for historic residences in the community. 100% of your contribution will go to sustaining these efforts.
