Paraiso Park is a .6-acre acre waterfront park in the Edgewater neighborhood of Miami. It is set…read moreamong four high-rise condominiums, Paraiso Bay, Grand Paraiso, ONE Paraiso, and Paraiso Bayviews in the luxury Paraiso District. The park was created by the development firm Related Group who built the small park for the city in 2019 in exchange for closing NE 31st Street to allow construction of the new district. While it is a City of Miami park, it is maintained by the Paraiso District. There are approximately 7,000 residents living within a 10 minute walk to the park. While this is a park primarily used by area residents anyone is free to use it. Parking for Paraiso Park can be difficult to find but I found a metered spot a couple of blocks down the street. The main draw of this park is the stunning view of Biscayne Bay with a wide brick bay walk. The walkway is part of the Biscayne Line, a 10-mile waterfront promenade connecting Edgewater in the north with downtown Miami in the south. Next to the park and connected by the bay walk is the restaurant Amara at Paraiso, where diners can enjoy outdoor seating with bay breezes. Other park features include a popular dog park, public art, a children's playground with rope climber, benches, water fountain, and an exercise area with three Kompan Fitness Zone machines. I was really impressed by how much half an acre can hold while making the most of the breath taking view of Biscayne Bay.

I got to experience Morningside Park recently with my running group. With roughly 40 acres, there is a community center building for voting or town halls as well. There are about 12 parking spots near the entrance. As far as sports, you have opportunities for anything from tennis to swimming, basketball and kayaking. For my run, they have a well defined asphalt trail that took me near the waterfront for an epic sunrise view and through open dog friendly parts of the park. There are a few footbridges over a little stream with mangroves perfect for a cool gothic style pics.

This park is part of a 249 parcel of land that is split into east and west sides of Greynold's…read morePark. In ancient times, the Tequesta used the river for travel and in the 1800's, the Seminoles set up a trading post to service early Miami settlers. Later on the land was a limestone quarry. Dedicated in 1936, Greynold's is Miami's second oldest park. It was created by the Civilian Conservation Corps. which was part of Roosevelt's New Deal Program that was set up to provide work for Americans who were suffering from the Great Depression. The limestone from the quarry was used for the buildings in the park. Greynold's is one on my favorite parks in Miami. I have been to the west side but this was my first time visiting the east end. The park has a lot of beautiful trees which support the local bird population. As I was walking around I saw a red shouldered hawk swoop down for a meal. Park amenities in this part of the park include a restroom, dog park, and kayak launch. There is a vendor renting kayaks or bring your own. You can paddle up the Oleta River to the intracoastal, north into Dumbfoundling Bay and back to the launch. It is a 6-7 mile loop with nice scenery for most of the paddle. The only thing I dislike about Greynold's park is they charge $7 for parking on weekends. Parks are funded by tax payers so I am used to parking for free. Greynold's started charging for parking over a year ago and I am not sure why North Miami felt they needed to start doing that. Possibly they were trying to be like nearby Oleta River Park which also has kayak rentals and charges a similar fee for entrance to the park.

There are two enclosed dog areas but the dogs pretty much have the run of the park and that is more than alright by me. This park is located on Indian Creek in the midst of million dollar homes so these are some pampered pooches who have their poo picked up. If you like to walk the park has some nice paths under shady trees. There is even a place to launch your kayak or paddleboard. The park also has a community garden for people who don't have the room to grown their own fruits and vegetables. Best of all this park has plenty of free parking which is a rarity in parking challenged Miami. Escape the concrete jungle and enjoy nature and some pooches at this charming Miami Beach park.
