So disappointed with the condition of Matheson Hammock Park. This is such a beautiful location with…read moreso much potential, but it's obvious that maintaining the park has not been a priority. The water did not even look inviting or safe enough to go into, and the "beach" area is extremely run down. There are areas along the water where you can barely even stand comfortably because of the condition of the shoreline. Everything just looks neglected and in desperate need of attention. There is absolutely no reason for a park in such a beautiful area of Miami to be allowed to deteriorate like this. Matheson Hammock should be a place that residents and visitors can enjoy and be proud of. It desperately needs proper maintenance, cleanup, and investment. Very disappointing to see such a special Miami park in this condition.

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!

Fuchs who founded the Holsum Baking Company in Homestead, Florida, in 1913. To be closer to distribution centers, Mr. Fuchs move his bakery to South Miami in 1934 where it became one of the biggest employers in the city. Fuchs was a civic leader in South Miami where he served as a charter member of the South Miami Chamber of Commerce and as its president from 1937 to 1944 and from 1949 until 1954 when he passed away as a result of an air boat accident. In April 1993, on the 80th anniversary of the Holsum Baking Company, the City of South Miami dedicated a plaque in his memory in the park. The park is the home for the offices for Chamber SOUTH which has served as the chamber of commerce for Greater South Miami-Dade for more than 80 years. Also n the park you will find a picnic area, picnic shelter, running/walking trail, benches, water fountain, playground, sand volleyball court, and pond. My favorite part of the park was the feature feature which attracted a large variety of birds. This park is perfect for birdwatching, exercise, picnics, and play. I really enjoyed discovering this little oasis of nature right near busy US 1.

There is no shade on the grounds so much of the time was spent standing in the hot sun. Waiting to get into an airboat was a bit chaotic and tiresome. There were shade canopies along the queue but they were not deployed for some reason. Staff seemed a bit disorganized, groups were confused on where to go and given mixed directions from staff members. The experience on the boat was nice and we saw a variety of wildlife. The captain was knowledgeable and spotted alligators quickly. The gator show was fun but short. The host Paul was funny and engaging, the entire audience was captivated. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Our highlight was getting to hold a baby alligator and knowing that our money was going to one of the only no kill gator rescues!

We did a snorkel tour our first day, which took us out in the bay where we got to snorkel in the mangroves and near a limestone shoreline that was filled with lobsters and unique marine life. Sometimes you will get to go snorkel the coral reef, however it was too windy the day we were there, which was disappointing but safety is first priority. Our second day, we kayaked the mangroves. This was my first time kayaking and it took a little while to get the hang of it but it was a cool experience. Going down the mangrove inlets was very peaceful and you could see some cute crabs hanging out at the root of the tree. Be sure to bring bug spray and sunscreen. You will need it! This park is free to enter, but excursions do cost. They are pretty affordable though. If you don't go on any, at least walk the trail around the visitor center and watch the 20 minute video about the park.

There were nice paved and groomed walking trails around the peninsula and bay, as well as a ranger-led fishing experience on the bridge, which didn't cost anything.

There was also a nice little visitor center with all sorts of information about the wildlife in the area, as well as different maps and rangers there to talk about what there was to do. Of course there were also junior ranger badges to get, which we made sure to do to add to our collection. Overall this is definitely worth a stop on any trip. Five stars!

I needed to renew my ACA instructor certification and wanted to get WPA instructor certification, so I did an ACA Level 1 and 2 SUP workshop and WPA level 1 SUP instructor training/certification with TFY. Meghan is the best SUP instructor/instructor trainer I've had. She's obviously very knowledgeable, but more importantly, she's also awesome at conveying that knowledge. We covered a huge amount of information in the ACA L1/2 workshop, but she made it manageable and easily understandable. The welcome letter she sends prior to class is very helpful and lets you know what to bring, the schedule, and what to expect. Her videos are also extremely helpful to watch beforehand. I thought the ACA workshop would be largely review for me, but I was surprised by how much I learned. She's also very upbeat, encouraging, and patient, and her low-pressure approach creates the perfect environment for learning. She taught high school math for 9 years, and I think her background in education plus her SUP knowledge and skills make her an outstanding instructor and instructor trainer. I'm looking forward to returning for ACA L1/2 instructor certification training.

But unfortunately, the recent lawsuit returning this park to the developer, the Allen Morris Company, is threatening this tiny park's future since the company is trying to upzone the park so they can destroy it to build a high-rise. They will shoot themselves in the foot if they do this - those living in Brickell are becoming fatigued at the total disregard for public amenities and continuing threat to quality of life by destroying nearly every public space we have. Demand will plummet and condos and apartments will start to empty if this continues. Enjoy our miniscule parks while we have them and before Brickell goes under.
