Pinecrest's projects since 1996 include the addition of several new parks, development of [[Wi-Fi]] technology and beautification projects which included thousands of trees being planted, unique street signs being posted village-wide, and roads being repaved. By planting over 10,000 street trees since 1997, Pinecrest was named a [[Tree City USA]] community by the [[Arbor Day Foundation]].

In 2008, the village council dedicated the new Flagler Grove Park and the long-awaited community center at Pinecrest Gardens.  The Pinecrest branch of the Miami-Dade County Library System opened adjacent to the community center in October 2008.

=== Parks ===
There are five public parks managed by the Pinecrest Parks and Recreation Department:
* Coral Pine Park — A {{convert|9|acre|ha|adj=on}} park with a recreation center, six lighted tennis courts, a natural area, an all-purpose field and a tot lot. Coral Pine Park was a former Miami-Dade County park before being transferred to Pinecrest in 1998.
