A beautiful park in Doral!…read more I've known Doral to have so many family friendly parks that are utilized and so happy that my friend showed me Doral Glades Park. I can see why it's coined as the "Glades" because the main part of it is a lake/glades area that has a walkway around the perimeter. It's beautiful and serene and was a great pathway for our morning walk/jog. This park also has playgrounds, one volleyball sand court, one basketball court (with two hoops), and six pickleball courts! Such a great spot for all kinds of activity and very clean and new. They also have some pavillions in case you're looking for a spot for your next party or event. Excited to come back sometime and check out their pickleball courts/community!

Dante Fascell Park is located on Red Road, east of US 1. Dante Fascell (December 3, 1983 - January…read more3, 1993) was a politician who represented Florida as a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1955 to 1993. He also served as chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee for nine years. He was well known for supporting the creation of Biscayne National Park which was signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. The visitor center in the park is named in honor of Representative Fascell as is this park. Although this is a small park, it has a lot of amenities including a playground, outdoor fitness equipment, open recreation space, a pavilion, BBQ pits, tennis and volleyball courts, and an exercise trail. My favorite part of the park was all of the public art. Dante Fascell Park is the home of the Columbia Sculpture Garden which currently has six installations. There is also a large sculpture of a nude woman by the playground that was created by local artist Donald Lee Seiler. A naked lady is kind of an odd choice to stick in a kids playground but it is a cool art piece. As I walked around I admired all of the large shade trees and beautiful native flowers in the park. This is the ideal place for a picnic, play, exercise, fresh air, and culture and it is a unique community treasure in South Miami.

Most of the work was for underground drainage so most of the park looks the same as before. The same playground, basketball courts, baseball cages, baseball field, tennis courts etc. The renovation isn't completely done, the parking spots and some grass area still need a finishing touch. This park is close by my workplace, and I began a fan of it during covid, when I could take a short drive here during my lunch break, so I could pull down my mask and breath in some fresh air. The children area is really nice under shade. I hope they will install a section with adult gym equipment as well.

Continental Park dates back to the 1950's making it one of Kendall's oldest and most active parks. The park has a number of amenities beloved by the community. These include a walking path, community center, tennis center, basketball court, and three baseball fields. In the northeast corner of the park is the Dice House. Built in the 1920's, it was the home of the first mayor of Kendall. During my visit I enjoyed strolling the winding pathways but this park is also ideal for enjoying a picnic with family and friends, taking the kids to play on the modern shade covered playground, or simply seeking a peaceful spot to be in nature. More active sports enthusiasts will enjoy the well-maintained tennis courts, basketball courts, and soccer fields which are perfect for a friendly game or serious practice sessions. Beyond its natural beauty and recreational facilities, Continental Park serves as an important recreational resource. The park hosts regular and seasonal events like active older adult programs and gatherings that bring residents together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging in the community. The park's clean and well-kept facilities reflect the community's pride and commitment to maintaining this cherished green space.

Cooper Park is a nice little community park in the heart of a bustling West Miami area…read more With a large green space, walking path, playground, and canopy of trees, Cooper Park brings a little calm and peace to a busy area. It is a great place to relax, enjoy the weather, play with the dog, let the kids climb and slide, have a picnic, or toss the frisbee. Being a block off of Red Road, you'd think there would be heavy traffic or loud truck noise all day long, but with the addition of the Publix between the park and 57th, it has a much more closed off, protected, and intimate feel to it. There is ample parking, and a few places for the kids to play and explore the freedom of running in a large green space. With benches and trees, there is more than enough of an area for adults to rest, soak up the sun, or enjoy an afternoon of peaceful nature while being steps from the reality of a major city. If you are looking for a little escape from the grind, slip your shoes off, slap your shades on, and let your toes feel the soft grass on your feet while you reconnect with the gentle beauty of peaceful relaxation at Cooper Park.

A village sprung up around it and it is now one of Miami Beach's most affluent neighborhoods with a farmers market, bike trails, and beautiful parks like this one. Veterans Wayside Park is named in honor of the service of the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States. In 2007, 79th Avenue which runs adjacent to the park was co-designated as Veteran's Parkway by the Pinecrest Village Council. At that time a plaque with inscription marking this a Veterans Park was added. As far as Veterans Memorials go it is pretty small and easily overlooked. This passive passive park is 4.5 acres in size and has a freshwater lake, picnic tables, and open recreation area. The water attracts a lot of birds so it is actually a great place to bird watch or have a picnic. Although it may not have all the amenities of the larger parks. Veterans Wayside Park is still a respite of nature in the middle of a neighborhood.

There are many like it along the length of US1 and it is nice that they made these quarries into green spaces, if nothing else. This one has a fountain in the center of the pond, but it is little more than a green space and has very limited parking. But every park doesn't need to have a playground. Or be a dog park. Or have extensive walking trails. This park is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a concrete jungle and I much prefer it be a green space then another store front. And for that I am grateful.
