Haulover Park is hands down one of the best beach spots in Miami. The beach is wide, clean, and…read morewell-maintained, with soft sand and gorgeous ocean views. Whether you want to swim, relax, fly a kite, or just enjoy the breeze, this place delivers. One of the coolest things about Haulover is how much it offers in one area picnic spots, tennis courts, a marina, walking paths, and even a dog park. There's also a clearly marked clothing-optional section, which is respectful and well organized for those who choose to visit it. Parking is convenient (though it can fill up on weekends), restrooms and outdoor showers are available, and lifeguards are usually on duty. The atmosphere feels safe, relaxed, and welcoming for families, couples, and solo visitors alike. If you're looking for a beach that's less chaotic than South Beach but still full of life and options, Haulover Park is a must-visit. I always enjoy my time here and keep coming back.

I'm giving this place a two, as it was my first time taking my dog to this park and it was hard to find. Also. I was harassed by a "Karen". She constantly was telling me that my dog was not allowed because of his breed and size. My dog is not aggressive nor does he bark at anyone/dogs. I guess because of the area, most of the people there were rude. I read all the parks rules before entering, and there was nothing stating that his "breed" was not allowed. Some of the reviews stated that this is the best dog park and it's not! It was just an overall unwelcoming environment.

OMG, this place is awesome!! Specifically, the Dog Beach! I'm in town for a few weeks and was…read morelooking for a dog beach for my Teddy. He gets hot, so I wanted to go in the morning on an overcast day. There's so much conflicting information about the hours and locations for all the dog beaches, I thought I'd start here. It was recommended on Reddit. BEST recommendation ever! First of all, where the dogs play is mostly shaded. From what I read, it's a man-made lagoon. The water is beautiful. You can see the bottom as you enter the water. At first, Teddy was a little hesitant to get in, but there were so many other dogs there, he just wanted to play. There are poop bags there if you need them. There's also a bench-style table to sit at. Teddy had a blast! Be sure to bring some water shoes. The beach/ground is riddled with small rocks, so walking barefoot isn't necessarily comfortable. I wore slides, and it was good. After I let Teddy play, we walked in the park so he could dry off. They have a nice shaded path. They also have a Disc Golf Course. What is that you asked? I wondered the same thing. I didn't see anyone playing, but I did see the Disc catchers scattered throughout. They also have a volleyball section with beach sand. Oh yeah, they have a pretty cool butterfly garden. No dogs allowed in there, but the butterflies were flying all over that area, so I was able to see a few. Overall, it's a really nice park. I'll probably go back tomorrow.

In ancient times, the Tequesta used the river for travel and in the 1800's, the Seminoles set up a trading post to service early Miami settlers. Later on the land was a limestone quarry. Dedicated in 1936, Greynold's is Miami's second oldest park. It was created by the Civilian Conservation Corps. which was part of Roosevelt's New Deal Program that was set up to provide work for Americans who were suffering from the Great Depression. The limestone from the quarry was used for the buildings in the park. Greynold's is one on my favorite parks in Miami. I have been to the west side but this was my first time visiting the east end. The park has a lot of beautiful trees which support the local bird population. As I was walking around I saw a red shouldered hawk swoop down for a meal. Park amenities in this part of the park include a restroom, dog park, and kayak launch. There is a vendor renting kayaks or bring your own. You can paddle up the Oleta River to the intracoastal, north into Dumbfoundling Bay and back to the launch. It is a 6-7 mile loop with nice scenery for most of the paddle. The only thing I dislike about Greynold's park is they charge $7 for parking on weekends. Parks are funded by tax payers so I am used to parking for free. Greynold's started charging for parking over a year ago and I am not sure why North Miami felt they needed to start doing that. Possibly they were trying to be like nearby Oleta River Park which also has kayak rentals and charges a similar fee for entrance to the park.

It seems like someone made this park in memorial for their dog/dogs (I'm assuming) it is beautiful, but all the beauty takes away from the dog's time. Most parks are like this. Made for dogs, but not for the freedom of dogs. The plus side: they have gated dog areas for big and small dogs with obstacles. I have 4 dogs so we are always going to the park, some days I have to drive quite a way to find a gated park that is open.

I had several heavy things I was bringing and it was a long schlep with them. The party was at the water park. I couldn't find it but a nice employee helped me and told me to follow him. We had Funbrella A. It did provide shade. There were about twenty of us. I swam with the kids. I played Marco Polo with them. It was fun. We ate and two and a half hours into the party, it rained. The lifeguards came around to assist with a cart for us to load the things so we could leave. Four of them came around and were super nice. I am giving this park 3 stars because, and I know this sounds odd, but it just feels outdated. The water park area just seems ho-hum. Not exciting. The last time I was at this park was maybe forty years ago when I was a child. Everything looks the same! They do offer a raincheck if it rains within two hours of being there. There are no refunds. Park admission is $3 per car and the water park is $10 per person to get in. I do think they gave my friend the raincheck for our admissions, even though it was slightly over two hours.
