- This is a well-maintained park which I love and the playground and benches are covered. Overall I would say this is a great park. There are restrooms and water fountains which are a deal breaker for me when I’m taking my daughter to a park. It would also make a great birthday location.

The park features:
- Covered Playground
- 1 covered Pavilion
- Walking path with fitness spots
- Restrooms

- With trees throughout the park this is the perfect place to enjoy a family bike ride or just have a nice picnic. The playgrounds are nice but they seem to be the only place that is not shaded, so be careful on those scorching hot days! This is also a popular spot for birthday parties.

-I know this park isn’t in Miami but it is worth the drive. The ocean water is clear as glass and there is plenty of beach for everyone to relax and spread out. There are also picnic tables with BBQ’s and showers, restrooms and dressing rooms close by. After the park you have to stop at Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant.
