North Beach Oceanside Park was originally established in the 1950s when the city purchased and…read moredemolished a series of dilapidated villas on the site. Today, it's one of Miami's largest parks, stretching from 78th Street to 87th Terrace. For years, the 28-acre site was left largely to nature. In 2017, the city approved a $6 million renovation, with Calvin, Giordano & Associates as project manager and West 8 leading the redesign. The renovation focused on preserving the park's natural beauty, including large palm trees, sea grapes, and its dune ecosystem, which protects against rising sea levels, while improving both aesthetics and functionality. Today, the park offers beach access with lifeguards on duty and plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sun. Amenities include outdoor showers, restrooms, a dog park, picnic tables and grills, a sand volleyball court, three rentable picnic pavilions with grills, swings, a playground, and trails with a self-powered outdoor fitness course. Parking is available in the municipal lot on 83rd Street and along Harding Avenue. I especially enjoyed walking the trails--the park is much quieter than nearby South Beach, which you can also reach via the paved 8-mile bike trail. It's a peaceful, well-maintained spot for a day at the beach or an active outdoor outing.

Mr. Barker served for six years in the Air Force during the Korean War. After graduating from Jacksonville University, he moved to south Florida where he managed the Coral Gables office of Southern Bell. He went on to help local businesses and many non profits. Barker served as a Coral Gables Commissioner for 12 consecutive years until 2001. During that time he oversaw the renovation of the Youth Center and helped to establish the Dr. Donald R. Hopkins/William A. Cooper Scholarship Fund to provide Coral Gables High School seniors with need based scholarships for college. For his service to the city of Coral Gables, he was awarded the George E. Merrick Award of Excellence. Mr. Barker passed away in 2015. This park is a tiny .19 acres but it feels like a secret garden. it is landscaped with beautiful tropical palms, native shrubs, and flowering plants. In the back of the park is a darling trellis swing. The park also has a water fountain, carved stone benches made of oolite stone, and boulders and logs for kids to play on. There is landscape lighting for illumination at night. Dogs are welcome. This park is just one of the many reasons why Coral Gables is known as the City Beautiful.

Woodside Park is a shining example of how a city can transform underutilized land into a beautiful…read morepark that brings the community together. Located near U.S. 1 in Miami's Silver Bluff and The Roads neighborhoods, Woodside Park was created from a collection of older residential parcels and vacant lots that the city purchased. The City of Miami acquired and cleared the properties with the goal of turning what had been a densely developed residential area, where many homes and duplexes had little or no backyard space, into what the city envisioned as a shared neighborhood backyard. I love the idea behind this project because it provides residents with something that was previously missing: a welcoming green space where families, children, dog owners, and neighbors can gather and enjoy the outdoors. Phase I officially opened on October 25, 2025, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, adding approximately 37,500 square feet of recreational space to the neighborhood. The park offers two themed playground areas designed for children ages 2-5 and 5-12, two separate dog parks, one for dogs 35 pounds and under and another for dogs over 35 pounds, outdoor exercise equipment, bicycle racks, open green space, a gazebo, benches and walking paths winding through landscaped areas, newly planted trees, two covered shelter areas, and roadway improvements surrounding the park Phase II expanded the recreational offerings with two new pickleball courts and a 1,600-square-foot community building. Woodside Park demonstrates how thoughtful urban planning and an investment in parks and public spaces can make a difference in the quality of life of a neighborhood. Instead of empty land the neighborhood now has a place to exercise, walk, play, relax, socialize, and enjoy nature. I loved my visit to this park and the seeing the enjoyment it gives on everyone's faces.

It was also my first Pickleball game on one of their two courts! Besides the courts, they also have body-weight based strength training equipment for all major muscle groups. Though there is not a track in the park itself, it is located next to the underline that runs from the Brickell to a bit of a way down south. They do have some play areas for kids, and two separate fenced in doggy play areas depending on your baby size (SMOL DOGGOS and LORG WOOFERS). Parking is available on the street. You can also park in the Vizcaya Metrorail station about six blocks up and get your cardio on or even take the train.

KID FUN Sometimes…read moreyou just need a park and this is the place. It's very safe. Part of the security includes a Miami police car sitting about 200 feet away from the park. I'm assuming that there is an officer in there but with the dark tinted windows it could just be a facade to make people feel safe. The park is inside the gated island community. Luckily we were visiting someone on the island, so we had access but apparently the park is a public park so I really didn't need a visitors pass to get pass the security guard. All of this security is put in place to make the rich island folk feel secure. This is a great place for the kids to run free under a shaded canopy. I often wonder why all parks don't have a sun screen to protect the kids from sun burns. In fact, this is the first park I've ever seen like this and I've got nine years of kids parks under my belt. The best part is that you will not find a crowd here which is good and bad. Good because you won't have to worry about kids pushing your kid off the climbing wall but bad because they won't have anyone to play with. There's two swings, one infant swing, one handicap swing, a climbing wall, monkey bars, five slides and a bunch of climbing stuff. So let the kids have a fun time. The area is also fully padded with the black rubberized ground so there shouldn't be any severe injuries. There is some tennis courts, a basketball court and two hand ball courts. There's also a great picnic table on the water so pack some lunch and enjoy the day.

Boot-camp enthusiast have also been taking advantage of the cute park. Surrounded by amazing high-end real estate and a mesmerizing view to the bridges with the bay flowing beneath and all around, adds a serene and peaceful atmosphere. I did not give it five stars because it could have more features and activities, but over all for its size and location its great. Come and enjoy this million dollar park today!
