- 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.

- A beautiful park in a nice location with a gated in playground (great for toddlers who tend to wander!) The only problem is there are no bathrooms. For some reason there is no exact address for the park so the best way to get there is to go down South Dixie Highway and turn at LeJeune going South (into the residential area)

Le Jeune Road and Barbarosa Ave.
Coconut Grove, FL 33146

The park features:

  • Gated-in playgrounds
  • Walking path
  • Beautiful Banyan shade trees

- I love Fairchild garden and I got the membership so I’m always there! Their cafe has mouth watering salads and a great kids menu. Not to mention you will want to take home everything from The Shop at Fairchild. They have beautiful necklaces for mom’s and fun nature-related books and toys for the kids. The garden is quite large so if you have little one’s bring your stroller.
