- 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.

- 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.

-Evelyn Greer Park has the best of both worlds, fresh-air and  Wi-Fi Internet access! Bring your laptop and let the kids play at the playground. My 11 year old niece is staying with us for the summer and she loves to play online games, so I took them to Evelyn Greer park and she could use the laptop and my daughter could run around the playground. In 2005 the park was named one of the best parks in South Florida by Parenting Magazine.

- In 2008 Coral Reef Park received the Kids Crown award by South Florida Parenting magazine as the “Best Park for Toddlers” and I believe it. But the park is so much more than just a place for toddlers. With new additions like beach volleyball court, tennis courts, meditation gazebo and garden and concession stands being build right now it is truly a great place for the whole family.

- 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
