A village sprung up around it and it is now one of Miami Beach's most affluent and family friendly neighborhoods with a farmers market, bike trails, and beautiful parks like this one. Coral Pine Park is a charming and well kept 9-acre park in Pinecrest. It was a former Miami-Dade County park before being transferred to Pinecrest in 1998. Park amenities include a recreation center with an Everglades mural, lighted tennis and pickleball courts, an all-purpose field, and a shade covered playground. In addition to all of the activities in the park, Coral Pine Park is also a pineland preserve. Pineland is a globally endangered ecosystem. It is only located in south Miami, the Keys, and parts of the Bahamas. Pineland once covered 180,000 acres or 12 percent of Miami but by the time Miami turned 100 in 1996, less than 2 percent remained. Today only fragments of the Pineland remain. Pinelands contain 225 species of native plants, 20 percent of which are found nowhere else in the world. Five of the plant species are listed as federally endangered.

This park offers it all... playgrounds, ample grass fields, tennis court and a baseball field. It was a beautiful day in Miami and everyone was out enjoying the sunny weather.

There's something here for every age to enjoy.
