This community contains one of the last bayfront estates. The Bayside historic district contains the architectural styles of frame vernacular, Mediterranean revival, Art Deco, and Streamline Moderne and it was the home of many prominent residents of early Miami including the Honorable Arthur Patrick Cannon served as a U.S. Representative from 1939 to 1947. Baywood Park won Miami New Times Best View award. This linear park has a stunning view of Biscayne Bay and the downtown Miami skyline. If you are lucky you may even spot a dolphin or manatee. Throughout the park is a paved walkway and benches. Free parking is available along the street. This peaceful passive park is perfect for strollers, bikers, joggers, and dog walkers as well as anyone who just enjoys a great water view.

There are fantastic views of Biscayne Bay, the various bridges, and downtown Miami skyline. Jumping fish, pelicans, sea hawks, and occasional dolphin sightings are always entertaining. People fish off the concrete edge and have their dogs off-leash, but it never seems to be an issue to enjoying the park. Great spot when there's a nice breeze and sunny to just lay on a blanket and cloudwatch or have a quiet little picnic.

The park takes its name from the fact that the park is located on a bend in the river and it is where manatees like to hang out. Manatees can only be seen in the winter, usually during a cold spell, so since it was a 95 degree day in the beginning of September, there were no manatees around. The park can best be described as passive. There is a large open space with benches, tables, and garbage cans. Also a view of the river. This park is best for a picnic or as a place to walk your dog. While I didn't spot any manatees I did see some homeless camping out and some cool art painted on a wall. It was a place to kill time before Blue Collar opened for dinner service. Not much to see here, over and out.

It's a neat little green space to have a picnic on a sunny day, or just sit and see if one it's namesakes is dwelling in the canal it overlooks. There's an abundance of urban wildlife, including ducks, iguanas, cranes, and ibis. It is somewhat of a "party spot" for day (and night) drinking and other activities, but lately, it has seemed cleaner and safer to enjoy. There is a little dog-friendly area and a boat launch. There is even some cement steps going into the Miami River, as well. Though, if you'd actually WANT to be in the water is another story. It is easy to do a kayak launch, as well though, and the canal does empty into Biscayne Bay.

A tiny little park tucked right off of NE 79th St. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to this park,…read morebut if you happen to be in the area or live nearby, it can't hurt to stop by. I have lived nearby for over 2 years and never even knew this park existed! There isn't any official parking, but since it's on a small side street, you can easily pull over and park along the street. Probably due to it's small size, there isn't much at this park to entertain you. There is one of those doggy poo bag stations, 2 really old looking rock back and forth park rides, and 3 random pieces of park workout equipment. The park is located right along the Little River, so you might see a couple manatees swim by. There are also signs posted identifying this park as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat, so you may see some other little animal friends here if you're lucky.

There are over 10 empty parking spots, no one in the water with a trailer to park and they sent everyone out, stating the park is closed.

Actually turning his back while a conversation should take place. Working for the city with attitude. Rudeness and no customer service. So he gets a city paycheck, medical benefits and city benefits regardless of what we think.
