While wandering around the Grove during the King Mango Strut Parade, I discovered this charming…read morepark named in honor of explorer, pioneer, and author Kirk Munroe. Munroe was born in a log cabin in Prairie-du-Chien, Wisconsin in 1850. One of his first adventures was to walk across the continent of North America. He went on to travel the world where he wrote stories based on his experiences. His career included newspaper reporting, editing, and authoring adventure books for boys. "Through Swamp and Glade" and "Flamingo Feather" are novels based on his experiences with the Seminole Indians in Florida. In 1866 Kirk Munroe settled in Coconut Grove with his wife. It was ten years prior to Miami being incorporated as a city. Although he still traveled, he always enjoyed returning to his home in Coconut Grove which he called Scrububs. Kirk was a noted member of the Florida Audubon Society and helped establish the Ransom Everglades School. While in the Grove, he and Ralph Munroe founded the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club in 1887 to celebrate Washington's birthday. Ralph donated the land that Kirk founded the Coconut Grove Library on. It was the first library in the state of Florida to own its building. Kirk Munroe passed away on June 16, 1930 at the age of 79, at a Florida sanitarium in Orlando. His funeral service was held at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Kirk Munroe Park is Miami's only tennis park. The park has five tennis courts and offers tennis programs for youth and adults. Other park amenities include bathrooms, picnic tables, a playground, and outdoor gym equipment. While primarily a tennis park, area residents also enjoy picnics here and taking their children to play. Changes may soon be in store for this park. Coral Gables-based Allen Morris Company is proposing a massive mixed-use project, Ziggurat, for the block where Coconut Grove Laundry & Cleaners now operates, between the park and Fuller Street. If it is approved they agreed to redesign Kirk Munroe Park with a new children's play area, café, new landscaping, and a complete refurbishment of the park's five tennis courts. Some Grove residents are worried that such a massive project with impact the bohemian charm of their historic neighborhood. It is something to keep an eye on.

There are five courts that are assigned on a first come, first served basis. If you are looking to practice on your own, there is also a wall to hit on with two sides to it. Besides the courts, Kirk Munroe is a regular ol' park. It has a jungle gym, large grassy area (but dogs must be on a leash), and also fitness equipment for pull ups and the like. There are plenty of large trees to provide some shade, as well. Overall, it's an awesome center in the heart of Coconut Grove! Metered parking is found around the courts on Matilda St.

It was developed…read moreby TCH 500 Alton, LLC, real estate developers David Martin and Russell Galbut who built the nearby Five Park residential tower. The park was donated to the City of Miami Beach's Parks & Recreation Department as a gift to the residents and visitors of Miami Beach. Canopy Park was designed by ArquitectonicaGEO with sustainability at the forefront. Environmentally conscious features including a Maritime Hammock anchoring the north end of the park which captures carbon and toxins from the air, diminishes the urban heat island effect, and cools the surrounding area. A 25,000-gallon cistern collects rainwater runoff and conserves and manage rainwater while bioswales allow for proper site filtration and management for all of the rainwater that enters the site. There are 40 different plant and tree species that are low maintenance and drought tolerant. The plants not only add beauty to the bark but they also help balance ecosystems, mitigate soil erosion, decrease urban heating effects, provide habitats for threatened animals, and protect watersheds from destructive floods. The park has so many stand out features but one of my favorite was the playground by Danish design firm MONSTRUM which is famous for their playscapes around the world. This is one is special because it pays homage to the OG Miami Beach developer, Carl Fisher. Fisher acquired a baby elephant he named Rosie that he used as a mascot for the area in publicity photos that promoted Miami Beach as a luxury vacation destination in the 1920's. Now Rosie has been recreated in the playground so children can climb up her and slide down. Other unique features of the park include a sculpture by Miami-based artist Mark Handforth, green spaces with native shade trees, paved pathways, seating, an outdoor gym, and a dog run area. In addition to being a place of recreation, Canopy Park serves to connect Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood to the Miami Beach Baywalk via a new signature pedestrian bridge designed by Daniel Buren spanning the MacArthur Causeway/5th Street. This will create a connection to South Pointe Park north to the Lincoln Road District and east to the beachfront. Canopy Park is at the gateway to the City of Miami Beach and is a great ambassador to the city. According to Russell Galbut of TCH 500 Alton, LLC. "We've created a vibrant community asset that brings people together while providing a design experience that rivals public spaces in the world's greatest cities." While I love the park the lack of parking is a real detriment to being able to use it. I have passed it so many times without ever being able to find a place to park. It took coming on a weekend day in a rainstorm to final get a street spot and even then I had to cross busy Alton Road which didn't feel safe. I love Miami Beach but unfortunately Miami Beach's parking doesn't love me back.

It was located adjacent to Carl Fisher's Nautilus hotel. Today you are still greeted by a reminder from that bygone era by the polo player statue. "The Polo Player" statue was built in 1923 and is still a prominent figure at Polo Park, Miami Beach. This park is one of the oldest in Miami Beach. The land was part of the Flamingo Golf Course, which was built in 1921 for Carl Fisher's hotel. The Northern end of the park was a polo field. A hurricane destroyed the golf course in 1926. The city of Miami Beach purchased the land in 1929. The park was used for boxing matches. An open air theater was built in the park in 1932. The theater was later demolished.

When you enter the park you are still greeted by a reminder from that bygone era by the polo player statue created in 1923 but today you are more likely to find pickleball than polo. In addition to the the pickleball courts in this spacious 4.6 acre park, Polo Park also has tennis courts, a USE fitness station, basketball courts, a softball field, open field area, walking path, and a shade covered playground for ages 2-5 and 5-12. The playground is fenced in for safety and has poured-in-place rubber surfacing, spring rider, twirl around, and swings. I came during one of South Florida's frequent rainstorms so I had the park to myself except for a gentleman walking around the perimeter for exercise. When the weather is nicer I can easily envision this park filled with fitness enthusiasts. pickle ball players, and kids enjoying the playground.
