Came here for a scheduled event and the park was easy to find , and there was plenty of parking . The down side of coming here was there was soooo much traffic because of construction it was a headache to get inside . Great plank for family and to spend the day doing activities.

We recently visited this park and although I don't normally make the drive this way, I'm glad we did because it had been many years since we went and it is definitely a nice park! Be prepared, this park is huge and you can plan a whole day here doing anything from walking around, to riding a bike (can rent one if you don't have one) and paddle boats. There's a place that offers water sports as well, great option if you like wake surfing/boarding, waterskiing or paddle boarding. We visited with 5 kids and they enjoyed the little petting zoo they had. Apparently the also offer pony rides but it was not happening the day we went. There's also a cool playground, lakes, a mini soccer area, dog park... oh, and you can also do birthday parties here! I definitely recommend checking them out :)

Always a great day coming here with Fam. Bring your tents and beach/picnic chairs and grab a spot under the huge shady trees. Park closes when the sun goes down. There are plenty of bathrooms nearby and a petting zoo for animals. Love it here !

Beautiful day

This is a great local park in the area! We went for a barbecue and there's a ton of space and lots of benches and amenities for adults and kids in the area!

This park was very interesting! It is huge with a ton of things to do. We specifically visited to go to the Tom Sawyer playground and to see the animals at the farm. The farm part had shut down so we didn't get to see what that is usually like, though the farmstead has promis! The playground was definitely different. It is located on a tiny island, and certainly the water views were nice. A small pavilion covered us when it rained. Entrance is through a man-made cave, which was slightly claustrophobic. I was personally a tad disappointed, but my kids seemed to have fun. Definitely a great place to be wild and loud in. Would have liked to explore more but the website is very uninformative, the Yelp page had hours listed wrong, and it was difficult to locate places inside the park or to know when certain areas are open/closed. Would try again!

Amazing park in the middle of hialeah ! This park contains a MTB trail, a water sports area, a petting zoo, a paddle boat area, soccer courts, and plenty of party and picnic spots. There is something for everyone at this park. If you just want to walk ir jog around the park, there is also plenty of sidewalk and paved areas to enjoy the scenery and get your workout in! I highly recommend Amelia Earhart park especially if you are a MTB enthusiast like myself ! The MTB trail is composed of a fast flowing XC trail pattern with some good challenging advanced sections featuring rolling hills and drops. If you are starting out, there are beginner trails to get your feet wet and get started !

This was the "soccer field".... Just dirt

We were a part of the Miami Classic Soccer Tournament this weekend and played 2 out of 3 games at Amelia Earhart Park on Saturday and Sunday. The fields were absolutely neglected; the soccer team was playing on dirt. The bathrooms were unattended and half were out of order. There wasn't toilet paper and the sinks were gross. I do not understand why the Miami Classic Soccer Tournament even considered this park based on the condition of the fields that the players had to play on. It was embarrassing that Amelia Earhart Park was even considered when there are much nicer parks in Miami Dade that are the same size if not larger. Look at the pictures...

Mountain bike trails
Rolando G.

Great mountain bike trails for everyone! Parking is $7 or so on weekends and holidays, but free on weekdays. Bring tons of bug spray as the trails are really woody - unlike the rest of Miami, haha. It's also very cool that there's water sports here, I'm dying to try it out!

Nice open areas
Ed W.

Good park with lots of green areas and lots of parking space. The mountain biking trails are really nice and kept in good shape. Same goes for the lakes and water skiing. Soccer fields are neglected and that needs a lot of attention. I guess it is because they play lots of tournaments and league games at these fields but that should push them to be better. Definitely a great park to bring kids and actually the whole family.

Good for biking & family gatherings. Trails are okay, better in some areas. Not the best place for fishing

Amelia Earhart park is named for the famous aviator whose doomed final flight took off in 1937 from the city owned Miami Municipal Airport about a mile from the park. The land the park sits on was once undeveloped land that was part of the old Naval Air Station Miami. The Navy eventually ceased operations at the air station and gave the land to Dade County. The southern portion of the land was sold off for development and half was retained as a 515 county regional park. One of the most popular parts of the park is the farm village named for Bill Graham who was the developer of Miami Lakes. He was one of the leading lobbyists who worked to secure the land for a park. The farm village is a replica of a real farm and contains horses, cows, and sheep. You can watch cow milking and sheep shearing demonstrations. There is a petting zoo, sugar cane press, country store, crop fields, and an insect museum. Tom Sawyer's Play Island is the perfect place for children to have fun. It contains a fort style tree house and play structures designed for children 2 to 12. There are swings, climbing structures, slides, and musical instruments to play with. There are 5 lakes in the park. On the 90 acre fresh water lake you can participate in water sports at the Miami Watersports Complex. They offer cable and boat wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and paddle boarding. The park also has swan and yellow duck paddle boats for rent. The park contains 8 miles of single track and fire road bike and hiking trails. If you don't have a bike you can rent one in the park from Genesis Mountain Bike Rentals. Four legged furry friends can play at the 5 acre dog park. There are separate play areas for large and small dogs along with washing and grooming stations, doggy swimming pools, and an obstacle course. There is also a soccer complex, skateboarding, fishing pier, sand volleyball court, covered picnic pavilions, and disc golf. The things to do at this park are only limited by your imagination The park is open daily from Sunrise to Sunset. The park office is open from Monday through Friday from 8 to 5 PM. Parking is free in the park on weekdays but costs $7 on weekends and holidays.

This Saturday, I stopped by again since it was the kickoff point for the Miami Lakes Reindeer Run 5K. Humble Brag: while not placing, I completed it on an about a 9 minute mile. It's an improvement from when I started exercising. The park has a couple of picnic shelters, a basketball court as well as body weight strength training stations. The park bathroom building was also clean. Parking is available on both sides of the street adjacent the park. For today's event, there were a couple of vendor booths, including food vendors, a podiatrist and a different gym than the one I go to. The run was through a mapped out course along Commerce Way.

Ahoy Matey! Did you know there is a pirate themed playground in Altos Del Mar Park in Miami Beach?…read moreGather up the crew and anchors away for the most almost free fun a fledgling pirate can have. You still have to pay for parking. I recommend the parking lot next door. The Pirate Park Playground was built by Superior Playgrounds who was tasked with designing a one-of-a-kind pirate theme play space to spark creative play and provide a safe place for budding buccaneers to play. The playground is made of recycled material like milk jugs and was created to be corrosion resistant so that it would always look good in this salt water coastal ecosystem. Located only 100 feet from the beach, the playground is fenced in for safety. There is a large pirate ship for older children to climb on and slide down and a smaller area for younger privateers. The crows nest with rigging looked especially fun to climb. Other playground play structures include clownfish and blue tang fish spring riders, a custom octopus playhouse, and palm tree shade. There are four triangle sail shades and poured-in-place safety surfacing to protect little knees and bottoms. Bathrooms are nearby. During my visit the playground was filled with kids and their families enjoying the nautical theme. This unique play space fosters imagination and physical movement for the youngest North Beach residents and visitors.

This park is truly lovely but the placement near an industrial area and townhome is weird. Although it is close to the highway this makes it convenient to visit. Basically one can walk the park in 15 minutes but if you study the art it will take longer. For me the vibe is freedom, starting over, and liberty for immigrants in the expression of the art. I can totally relate since my parents migrated from another county and struggled here and made it here. In my opinion, the art felt like it was a tribute to all the Latin artists and what they felt. I am glad I made my way to this park because I think the idea of art in a park is brilliant as well as using dead space among the power lines is smart.

It was created as a result of the Miami-Dade County Building Better Communities Bond Program. A paved half mile walking trail winds among art and plants located under power lines. This is an area that is usually left empty although I sometimes see other towns put passive parks under them. The art in the park is by local and world renowned artists. Artists featured include Alexander Mijares, Astrid Alcayaga Art, Reynaldo Artires, Villamil ART, Rafael Consuegra Studio, Noel Leon, Antonio Fortuna Art, Aristide, Juan Abuela, Zaida del Río, Roberto Perez Crespo, Ramon Pedraza, Florencio Gelabert, and Alexis Porro-Fortún Artist. There are 11 murals, some of which relate the history of Hialeah. There are also sculptures that range from small to quite large. I never got bored. As I wandered down the path there was always a cool plant or thought provoking piece of art to discover. As I walked it was a little disconcerting to hear the power lines crackling overhead. The park also includes an amphitheater, benches and seating areas, and an elevated stage with turf seating. The amphitheater can be rented for private events like weddings. Parking is in a free lot at the entrance to the park. What a wonderful place to experience the arts and culture in the setting of a beautiful botanical garden.
