The only thing that could be improved is having a sign-in sheet or a system to track when people arrive and when they leave. A lot of players stay on the courts longer than the one-hour limit, which makes it frustrating for others who are waiting for their turn. A simple check-in/check-out system could make it more fair and enjoyable for everyone. Street parking is available

Shenandoah Park is a neighborhood park named for the subdivision it lies in. Shenandoah along with…read moreBryan Park, Silver Bluff, Vizcaya-Roads, Coral Gate, Parkdale-Lyndale, South Miami, Bryan Park, and Golden Pines make up the Coral Way neighborhood of Miami. Coral Way lies along Coral Way Road which was established by Coral Gables founder George E. Merrick during the 1920s. The Coral Way subdivisions contain a charming mix of Mission Revival Style architecture and bungalow homes from the 1920s, Art Deco style from the 1930s, and modest post-World War II homes. Shenandoah is one of the oldest areas in the city of Miami and its park is one of the most visited in the city. In 2014 Coca-Cola and the City of Miami teamed up to renovate Shenandoah Park to encourage people to be more active and embrace fitness. Coca-Cola donated more than $200,000 in a grant to help the city expand the park's playground, build an outdoor fitness equipment area and upgrade its tennis courts. In 2021 the City of Miami broke ground on a new aquatic center, basketball courts, soccer field, and fitness equipment. Other Shenandoah Park amenities include a playground, picnic tables, and racquetball court. The park also has a recreation center that offers after school programs, camps, youth programs, computers, and fitness classes while the Aquatics Center offers swim lessons, water aerobics, lap swimming, and recreational swim practice. This neighborhood park has something to appeal to every member of the community. The park space was so skillfully utilized to pack so much in. There is even a library adjacent to the park for even more recreational and cultural programs. It is also beautifully landscaped with public art. This is undoubtedly one of the nicest parks in Miami.

The grass is cut are amenities are decently maintained. There are 2 tennis courts. They are pretty good and were very busy while I was there. It seems like that is the park's amenities that is the favorite and gets the most use. There is about a quarter mile paved walking/jogging trail around the park. That was getting a lot of use too. There is a lot of trash along the backside of the fence though. There are some benches within the playground area and scattered around the park. There are also some picnic tables around the park. The park also has a full basketball court. The court is in good shape, but one of the backboards and goals are missing. There is also a decent playground with two banks of swings, one for smaller kids and one traditional. There is a jungle gym with a slide and a thing to climb on. The ground is covered with a combination of artificial grass and wood chips. You will find restroom facilities here as well, in addition to a covered pavilion with picnic tables under it. You will need to make reservations for the pavilion The park has a huge baseball/kickball field that has a huge outfield that can be used to play Frisbee, soccer, football, catch and the like. It is well groomed and very spacious. All and all, this is a neat park. I would probably get there early because can get very hot out there and many people get there when the park opens to beat the heat.

Bryan Park is a community park popular with children and adults.

The new playground equipment is inclusive and ADA compliant. Another great feature of the park is the outdoor gym equipment where you can work out for free. Also in the park is the Bryan Park Community Center where they offer youth programs and camps. Bryan Park brings the community together for picnics, work outs, tennis games, and play providing something for all ages to enjoy.

A village sprung up around it and it is now one of Miami Beach's most affluent neighborhoods with a farmers market, bike trails, and beautiful parks like this one. Veterans Wayside Park is named in honor of the service of the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States. In 2007, 79th Avenue which runs adjacent to the park was co-designated as Veteran's Parkway by the Pinecrest Village Council. At that time a plaque with inscription marking this a Veterans Park was added. As far as Veterans Memorials go it is pretty small and easily overlooked. This passive passive park is 4.5 acres in size and has a freshwater lake, picnic tables, and open recreation area. The water attracts a lot of birds so it is actually a great place to bird watch or have a picnic. Although it may not have all the amenities of the larger parks. Veterans Wayside Park is still a respite of nature in the middle of a neighborhood.

There are many like it along the length of US1 and it is nice that they made these quarries into green spaces, if nothing else. This one has a fountain in the center of the pond, but it is little more than a green space and has very limited parking. But every park doesn't need to have a playground. Or be a dog park. Or have extensive walking trails. This park is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a concrete jungle and I much prefer it be a green space then another store front. And for that I am grateful.

With black and white diagonal striping, the building looks like a cross between an old jail uniform or a WWII ship from the Philadelphia Experiment. Walk in if you're curious, since you'll never know what you'll find. It may be a live DJ playing anything from hipster music to old school hip hop outside. Maybe it's some crochet like your grandma would do (or considering one piece yesterday, maybe not). There are eclectic photomontage pieces (like a table of journalists typing with hellish flames in the background.) Wrap up your visit by noshing on one of the tastiest Brie and cracker spreads in the galleries lately, or some sweet fig crackers.

The locker rooms should've been updated at least once since the 80s with the amount every student pays for tuition being $65,000... this gym continues to disappoint, and to make things worse they sell Fairlife farms milk at the food counter, a known animal abuser who settled the class action brought against them for $21 million. What a disgrace to still be selling their products. Do better U!

José Martí is considered to be a Cuban national hero. Many parks and monuments throughout South…read moreFlorida are named in his honor. He was a poet, revolutionary philosopher, journalist, translator, professor, publisher, and author of "Cultivo Una Rosa Blanca" . He dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty and political independence for Cuba. His death during a battle against Spanish troops at the Battle of Dos Ríos was used to rally people to the cause of the independence of Cuba from Spain. The land the park is on has a lot of history. This area was used by the Tequesta people around 400 AD. In 1982 while developing the park, underneath I-95, an ancient Tequesta camp was discovered. Pottery shards, shell tools, arow heads, and a woman's grave were excavated. In 1959 Fidel Castro took over Cuba transforming it into a communist state. Refugees began fleeing the island for Miami. In 1980, 4,000 Cuban political refugees who fled Cuba during the Mariel boat lift took refuge in a tent city here for two months. On October 27, 1984 the park opened and was dedicated to José Martí. The park is located directly on the historic Miami River where today you can enjoy stunning views as the boats sail by. Park amenities include a public pool, playground, outdoor fitness equipment, basketball court, picnic tables, and a community center offering summer and winter camps, and youth and teen programs. The park also has a bust of José Martí donated to the city by Cuba in the 1950s. José Martí park is part of the Miami River Greenway, a 6.2 mile trail that begins at Bayfront Park and ends at NW 24th Ave. The trail links neighborhoods, businesses, cultural attractions, historic sites, and nine public parks along both banks of the Miami River.

Popular with locals and visitors of all ages looking for a quick escape, the park features a public riverwalk that runs the length of its grounds with benches where you can read a book and watch boats float by.

The landscapes were beautiful but we were excited about the animals too. The gardens close at 5:30 pm but they take the animals (donkeys, cow, goats and pig) away at 4 pm, which we didn't know. So they were being put away as we got there. The playground is nice, although not very big, my girls enjoyed it. The water park closes earlier than the rest of the gardens too. Overall a lot of the "experiences" seemed to be closed on the Sunday we visited. Not sure it was worth the drive.
