While exploring Coral Gables I stumbled upon this cute park named in honor of Coconut Grove…read morecommunity activist, Esther Mae Potts Armbrister. Esther Mae was of Bahamian descent and although diminutive in size, she had a powerful personality. Her trademark phrase was "I may not be right all of the time but I'm never wrong.'" Esther Mae was a presence at city hall city hall where she led a successful campaign to renovate a local park and to have sections of west Grove designated as historic. She is credited with the creation of historic markers for the cemeteries where Bahamian and African American settlers of Coconut Grove were buried. She also worked to preserve the turn-of-the-century clapboard house owned by Mariah Brown, an early immigrant from the Bahamas. From 1947-1953, she was president of St. Albans Day Nursery, where mothers could receive day care for $1.25 per week. History was her passion and she often shared it with local schoolchildren. She also liked to keep local politicians on their toes. Esther Mae passed away at the age of 81 in 1997 while in the midst of writing a history book. Esther M. Armbrister Park is a testament to Esther Mae's legacy of dedication to her community. The 4.4-acre City of Miami park includes a community center, baseball and football fields, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and exercise equipment. Plans are moving forward for the 10 million dollar Armbrister Park New Community Center Improvements project consisting of the demolition of the aging existing community center building and the construction of a new 10,000 square foot two story facility and an outdoor pavilion. The center will include sports equipment storage, classrooms for after-school programs, a technology room, a kitchen, meeting rooms, restrooms and an outdoor pavilion. It will also serve as an outreach center during hurricanes or other natural disasters. Armbrister Park has long been a central gathering point for sports and recreation in Coconut Grove. The new center's design will reflect the cultural and architectural traditions that have defined this neighborhood by using Caribbean and Bahamian-style architecture. Great things are coming to this neighborhood, just the way Esther Mae would have wanted.

Armbrister park is located on the same block as George Washington Carver elementary/middle school…read more(Hornets Represent!) and across from the City of Miami Fire Department (off Grand Ave and Jefferson). It has been renovated and now includes a full turf football field and goals for soccer that I think can only be used if participating in a league. There's space to park along the park on Jefferson Street although I'm not sure that it's legal parking (watch for your car to avoid being towed). You could also opt to pay for parking on Grand Ave. There's a playground next to the field and enough field space (as well as bleachers) outlining the actual football field so it's a great spot to take your kids out to play catch, kick a ball around, etc.. I'm happy this park is around, can't wait to see how it is to play my Sunday coed soccer leagues here!
