The fact that the kids playground is fenced in is incredible. Don't understand why more parks don't add this seemingly simple feature. It gives parents an added sense of safety.

It's a nice place, has good playground dog areas, enough seats for dog owners to sit down, and good park surrounded by playgrounds, neighborhood, small water park, and both areas for big/small dogs. My only reason is I hope they can cover up underneath the fence due to my dog crawling underneath and playing with the small dogs. Covering up underneath with cement or rocks so that no dogs would be able to fight against one another.

The 'beach' is really like a lake, but you do have some sand to give the beach feeling. Didn't hear the live music when we went but people were playing their own from speakers.

We are new to the area and are searching for parks to walk the dog and get some exercise. First up?…read moreModello park. When we arrived, there were tons of people engaged in different sports. There were people playing soccer, basketball and even solo runners. I enjoyed how many different areas were available and how many sports could be comfortably played there. While there wasn't a running path per say, people were running on the grass and on the sidewalk around the park. There were a few trees that gave off good shade. A good playground and bathrooms. Even has a few grills and picnic tables available for a BBQ. The only reason I give this park 4 stars is because there was quite a bit of litter. It really brings down the appeal of the park when people can't clean up after themselves.

Because that is your first instinct when you see the park from afar. It's a ridiculously BIG PARK!!! We went to The Berry Farm and had to stop by this park on the way home. Had to!!! MUST!!! The entrance to the park is weird and you enter through the shopping plaza and it's on your far left. Don't worry, you're going the right way. You'll see it at the end. Can't miss it. When you walk it, the park has a huge wow factor because you just can't believe how big this park really is. Needless to say, my kids were in heaven. I joked and said I paid to get into The Berry Farm but this awesome park is free! Haha. There are basically three different sections. Left, middle and right side. It's pretty AMAZING!!! Check out the photos and see for yourself. I wish we had a super cool park like this close to our home.

There is a lot of history here at this 15 acre preserve. The land is currently owned by EEL, the…read moreDepartment of Environmentally Endangered Lands. The preserve is named after Hattie Bauer a school teacher, whose pioneer family homesteaded in the early 1900's. Hattie passed away in 1961. The land became a private farm in 1922 and a year later it was sold to Lee Arthur Fennell who turned it into one of Miami's first roadside attractions, Fennell's Orchid Jungle which opened in 1923.. Four generations of the Fennell family occupied the land for 70 years until 1992 when Hurricane Andrew destroyed the attraction. Fortunately for the Fennell family their luck changed when they won several million dollars in the lottery. Shortly after that the land was was purchased by the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program and Florida Communities Trust who turned it into a preserve. In 1999 Orchid Jungle was designated as a historic site by Miami -Dade County. The preserve has a loop trail with interpretive boards. Some of the old historic Orchid Jungle buildings remain but you are not allowed to go in them. The trail goes through a tropical hardwood hammock lined with gumbo limbo and oak trees which add to the feeling that you are walking in a jungle. The preserve contains rare plant species including ferns that grow in the solution holes formed when acid rain eroded the oolitic limestone. The Miami-Dade Parks Department periodically runs $6 guided hikes through Hattie Bauer. Call (305) 242-7688 for future dates.

Larry Thompson was a humor columnist for the Miami Herald for more than two decades until his death February 18, 1973. He is in the Florida Newspaper Hall of Fame. His wife Gladys "Penny" Thompson (née Rhodes), who died September 22, 1975, was a pioneer in women's aviation during the 1940s-1950s. She is in the Florida Aviation Hall of Fame and the Florida Women's Hall of Fame. She was the Florida chapter president of the Ninety-Nines, the women's pilot organization founded by Amelia Earhart. While in the Civil Air Patrol, she flew over the Gulf of Mexico searching for German submarines during World War II. Her plane was one of several hundred destroyed in a 1945 blimp hangar fire at the Naval Air Station Richmond, part of which was rebuilt as the park.

There are tons of beautiful plants throughout the property, making it a peaceful place to explore. I visited in January when it was pretty cold, so there wasn't much natural activity, but even then there was still a lot to see. I'd definitely recommend visiting when it's warmer to experience it fully. The sanctuary sits on about 20 acres, so be prepared for a good amount of walking. They also have a horse stable with some beautiful horses, and a "Bee Hotel," which sounded funny at first but was actually really interesting to learn about. There's a small restaurant on-site called Thai Tapas. The menu is limited, but the food is really good. Overall, this is another great spot for nature lovers and anyone looking for a peaceful, grounding experience.
