Pittman Park reminded me of the historic squares in Savannah, with its trees, benches, and proximity to nearby restaurants. The park is also home to Tuxedo, a public art installation by Jean Ward. As part of the city's Smart City initiative, free Wi-Fi was recently added to encourage local businesses to use the park for outdoor meetings and gatherings. In the fall, the city transforms the space into a seasonal pumpkin patch. This quiet park was the perfect place to relax for a few minutes while planning my next destination. As I sat beneath the shade trees, the local trolley passed by adding to the charm. It's also an ideal spot to enjoy a snack or ice cream from one of the nearby businesses in Giralda Plaza while taking in the surrounding Coral Gables neighborhood.

There is not much to the park and probably sees most of its action as a doggie walking spot. The area is relatively well maintained and clean.

A local Boy Scout troop is currently working on creating a memorial to Officer Stafford in the park.

The fenced in park has benches, bike racks, picnic tables, open area for play and a playground. In 2019 the basketball court was redone with art from D'ana of COVL. Southside Park is primarily used by neighborhood residents to shoot hoops, walk their dogs, or as somewhere to take the kids to play. I really like the large old ficus trees which I am sure have seen their share of Miami history as has the 1905 original Miami High School building which was relocated to the park and restored. As far as parks go though it could definitely use more amenities to benefit the community. Fortunately Southside Park is slated to get a design overhaul by the same firm that designed New York's Highline and which is currently creating the linear Underline Park under the nearby Metrorail. Plans for the improved Southside Park include an enclosed dog run with dedicated areas for small and large dogs, seating areas, water features, public art, playgrounds for different age groups, a new basketball court, space for community programs, and new plants and trees. There are also plans to build the 64-story 1 South Park tower next door to the park. Based on how well the Underline is turning out, I predict good things are in store for Southside Park.

Cuban Memorial Park is located just south of Calle Ocho along SW 13th Ave in Little Havana in the…read moremiddle of a residential neighborhood. Throughout the park are a series of monuments to Cuban and Cuban American icons. The park was created to serve as a place to remember those who fought for freedom and perished during the Cuban Revolution. At the entrance to the park is the Eternal Torch in Honor of the 2506th Brigade in honor of the exiles who died during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The invasion during the height of the Cold War in April of 1961 was a failed military military operation on the southwest coast of Cuba led by the Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front, a group of Cuban exiles who attempted to overthrow Fidel Castro. The monument was dedicated in 1971 as an Eternal Torch that burns for those who fell fighting for freedom in the Cuban Revolution. Other monuments in the park include a silhouette of a soldier dedicated to the anti-communist guerrilla that took place in Cuba from 1960-1966. This memorial honors the men and women who fought with weapons against the Castro regime. Near by is bronze statue of Nestor "Tony" Izquierdo, who was a Cuban revolutionary hero. A few steps down is a statue of the Virgin Mary, important for members of the Santeria faith It is said that the statue is illuminated by a shaft of holy light every afternoon. Also sacred to the religion is a huge ceiba tree in the middle of the park. Other monuments include a map of Cuba with a quote from José Martí and a José Martí memorial dedicated to a man considered to be a Cuban national hero. Many parks and monuments throughout South Florida are named in his honor. He was a poet, revolutionary philosopher, writer, journalist, translator, professor, and publisher. He dedicated his life to the promotion of liberty and political independence for Cuba. His death during a battle against Spanish troops at the Battle of Dos Ríos was used to rally people to the cause of the independence of Cuba from Spain. Cuban Memorial Park serves as a hub for the Calle Ocho Music Festival featuring music, dancing, art and food. The park has also been the site of many political demonstrations through the years. Cuban Memorial Park is a great spot for visitors to Little Havana to fill in the gaps in human history. I also enjoyed seeing all of the roosters and chickens, especially the adorable chicks. The park is open every day from sunrise to sunset. Leashed dogs are welcome.

The Cuban Memorial Park has a Bay of Pigs Memorial and other Cuban memorials while this park has a Bay of Pigs Memorial but also a lot of other typical park amenities that the surrounding community can enjoy. The memorial in this park honors the exiles who died during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. During 1960 and early 1961, America's Central Intelligence Agency recruited, trained and equipped more than 1,500 Cuban exiles, who would become known as the 2506 Brigade, to lead a mission to free Cuba. The invasion took place during the height of the Cold War in April of 1961 and was a failed military military operation on the southwest coast of Cuba led by the Cuban Democratic Revolutionary Front, a group of Cuban exiles who attempted to overthrow Fidel Castro. On April 17, 1961, more than 1,400 Cuban exiles landed at the Bay of Pigs. Only 537 of the original 1,414 Freedom Fighters remain alive today. Input from survivors of the Bay of Pigs, their families and others affected by the invasion was gathered by City of Miami officials to ensure that their efforts were properly and respectfully commemorated. The new monument by sculptor Nilda Comas honors the brave Cubans who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion was unveiled on April 12, 2023 in the park. The memorial features a soldier and a Cuban flag, with a scene from the invasion etched into the flag. The soldier is a depiction of the first Cuban killed accidentally in Guatemala during training for the invasion. He wears the number 2506, which became the number of the brigade that led the invasion and the name of the veterans' association that exists today. At the memorial dedication Commissioner Manolo Reyes said "One of my favorite José Martí phrases is 'In honoring, we are honored.' The reconstruction of this park was one of my main promises made to those who left everything behind for their country. This park and particularly this new monument keeps the memory of those who died alive, as well as for all those who are still part of our community. I want to express my gratitude for fighting so bravely in Bay of Pigs to see a free Cuba." In addition to the memorial, the park received 1.35 million dollars of improvements which included new outdoor fitness equipment, a children's playground, a walking path, a drinking fountain, lighting, drainage, and a new sidewalk and landscaping. I love how nice the park looks and it was being enjoyed by many families during my visit. Unfortunately there are only a few parking spots around the perimeter so if you live outside the neighborhood it is very difficult to park.
