- 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.

- This is another beautiful park in Coral Gables located right off of South Dixie highway. When  you leave the park be sure to stop by Misha’s Cupcakes and try one of their delicious cupcakes (that is if the kids were good!)

-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.

-This park has recently had a Miami-Dade library added to it and the building is amazing. With it’s modern lines and colors and the beautiful stone work on the side wall it’s really more than just a library but a piece of modern architecture. The park area has a walking path, playground and basketball courts. I guarantee you won’t miss it because it’s located right on Kendall Drive and 152nd Ave.

- 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
