Pinecrest Gardens

-Pinecrest Gardens has many elements of fun: water, playground and animals! The petting zoo is something you definitely want to take the kids to. I love this Splash n’ play because it allows the little kids who can’t swim yet to enjoy the water in a safe environment.

Prince Field

-The small town of Miami Springs happens to be my hometown growing up and I have many memories of playing at Prince Field’s playground. The playground is constructed of all wood and is built like a castle. Your kids will have hours of fun playing hide and seek in this playground. There is a separate section for younger children which ensures they won’t get knocked down by the big kids playing hide and seek.

Tropical Park

-Tropical Park is perfect for those of us who don’t have trucks or SUV’s to bring our bikes. They rent all kinds from low rider bikes to 4 person bikes! With the new addition of the dog park you can bring your whole family and enjoy a nice day outside. The bike rentals are only on Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am to 6:00pm so make sure you get there early. I suggest using the entrance on Miller Drive (located right by the 874 -Don Shula Expressway).

Matheson Hammock Park

- Have you ever wanted to take the kids to the beach but don’t want to deal with the far drive,  lack of parking and rough waves? If so, you should try Matheson Hammock Park in Coral Gables. The water is shallow and isn’t choppy, which makes it perfect for young children.
