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.

I participated in the muddy dash Miami this year. So this review is based of that…read more It was a fun 5k, with some military-like courses with wet mud. As germaphobe, I faced my fears today. I got a few cuts and scrapes in the mud, so maybe bring some hand sanitizer in your pocket. You get a medal at the end for completing it, and they have some food trucks to feast after the race. My one complain is that they charge you $20 to park at a public park that is free to park.

A beautiful park in Doral!…read more I've known Doral to have so many family friendly parks that are utilized and so happy that my friend showed me Doral Glades Park. I can see why it's coined as the "Glades" because the main part of it is a lake/glades area that has a walkway around the perimeter. It's beautiful and serene and was a great pathway for our morning walk/jog. This park also has playgrounds, one volleyball sand court, one basketball court (with two hoops), and six pickleball courts! Such a great spot for all kinds of activity and very clean and new. They also have some pavillions in case you're looking for a spot for your next party or event. Excited to come back sometime and check out their pickleball courts/community!

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.

Lovely passive park with beautiful art, walking trail, gardens, benches, amphitheater, and…read morepowerlines above. 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.

Wow! Well done Hialeah! Opened in 2015, Garden of the Arts is a free botanical garden with art…read moreinstallations. 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.

I am surprised no one has reviewed this park. This is one of the few if not only park I have seen…read morein Hialeah Gardens. The park is safely nestled behind the Hialeah Gardens Police Department and for the most part is fenced in. Dont let the busy feels of 103rd st fool you, this park is nestled under the shade of the tall pine trees (which I am glad are still around). If you have an avid climber this park is for you! There are so many structures to climb but at the same time I feel like this park is better suited for older kids (Maybe older than 4). The play structures span more than 2 levels making it hard for the little ones to reach the top and when they are at the top it is really hard to maneuver the area to get into the slides. My 3 yr old found this structure quite intimidating when leaving the second level. If you do come to this park with a small child the good thing is there is a small path to walk, 2 swings for infants, several benches, and a nice picnic table under a gazebo. I wanted to give this park 5 stars but I find it quite dangerous as the structure are very high and I found spots where small hands and feet could get stuck while climbing a tunnel. I also recommend coming to the parl in earlier hours so that you can find a parking spot. Simply pull in as if you are going to the police station and loop around behind it.

From the moment you walk in you see a pond small cascading waterfall. As you walk in you start seeing beautiful canopies filled with purple flowers leading into a bamboo forest.

I went at around 5PM on a weekday to snap photos and relax, there were very few people around. There are several tiki huts with tables around for picnicking. I was a rookie and didn't bring any bug spray, so I couldn't really risk sitting around the water--the mosquitos instantly come out to bite. There's also a cute little maze, but go in at your own risk, there's spiders hiding! Very well kept garden/park, will be returning :)
