I participated in the muddy dash Miami this year. So this review is based of that. It was a fun 5k, with some military-like courses with wet mud. As germaphobe, I faced my fears today. I got a few cuts and scrapes in the mud, so maybe bring some hand sanitizer in your pocket. You get a medal at the end for completing it, and they have some food trucks to feast after the race. My one complain is that they charge you $20 to park at a public park that is free to park. read more

Came here to participate in a mud run and had such a great time. The only downside was being charged for parking, which was a bit frustrating but I guess it's one way for vendors to make some extra money. Running the race took me through different parts of the park, and I was really impressed by the trails. They definitely caught my attention, and I'd love to come back just to explore them on a walk. Overall, the park seems well maintained and taken care of, which made the experience even better. read more

Came here for a scheduled event and the park was easy to find , and there was plenty of parking . The down side of coming here was there was soooo much traffic because of construction it was a headache to get inside . Great plank for family and to spend the day doing activities. read more

We recently visited this park and although I don't normally make the drive this way, I'm glad we did because it had been many years since we went and it is definitely a nice park! Be prepared, this park is huge and you can plan a whole day here doing anything from walking around, to riding a bike (can rent one if you don't have one) and paddle boats. There's a place that offers water sports as well, great option if you like wake surfing/boarding, waterskiing or paddle boarding. We visited with 5 kids and they enjoyed the little petting zoo they had. Apparently the also offer pony rides but it was not happening the day we went. There's also a cool playground, lakes, a mini soccer area, dog park... oh, and you can also do birthday parties here! I definitely recommend checking them out :) read more

Cant go wrong with this park. Have been coming to this park for many years since a child and it has always been great. The spaces for many different events are perfect. There is ample space everywhere for any type of event. Favorite part is the petting zoo which the kids love along with the different playgrounds throughout the park. They also have days that food trucks are available in a section of the park. read more

This park was very interesting! It is huge with a ton of things to do. We specifically visited to go to the Tom Sawyer playground and to see the animals at the farm. The farm part had shut down so we didn't get to see what that is usually like, though the farmstead has promis! The playground was definitely different. It is located on a tiny island, and certainly the water views were nice. A small pavilion covered us when it rained. Entrance is through a man-made cave, which was slightly claustrophobic. I was personally a tad disappointed, but my kids seemed to have fun. Definitely a great place to be wild and loud in. Would have liked to explore more but the website is very uninformative, the Yelp page had hours listed wrong, and it was difficult to locate places inside the park or to know when certain areas are open/closed. Would try again! read more

One of the nicer parks in Miami-Dade County. Clean well maintained and very spacious.

Perfect to have your baby shower or any outdoor get together great price, but you have to book early so that you can get the space you want not all areas have electricity but they are very accommodating definitely a first come first serve read more

This was my first time in this park in Hialeah, I went for a business event. The park is very big and it has watersports, different-sized shelters to rent, and a few Food Trucks the day I went. The park is very clean and observed park personnel giving rounds and emptying garbage cans all the time as well as cleaning the restrooms. they also have playgrounds for the kids to play In different areas. In all a good park for picnics, birthdays or any party you want to host. read more

Nice park with a nice lake to wake board. We went mountain biking on the trails. Lots of trails for different skills levels! The trails are very well kept and entertaining. We went on a Saturday morning and there's was a company renting bikes! read more

Amazing park in the middle of hialeah ! This park contains a MTB trail, a water sports area, a petting zoo, a paddle boat area, soccer courts, and plenty of party and picnic spots. There is something for everyone at this park. If you just want to walk ir jog around the park, there is also plenty of sidewalk and paved areas to enjoy the scenery and get your workout in! I highly recommend Amelia Earhart park especially if you are a MTB enthusiast like myself ! The MTB trail is composed of a fast flowing XC trail pattern with some good challenging advanced sections featuring rolling hills and drops. If you are starting out, there are beginner trails to get your feet wet and get started ! read more

We were a part of the Miami Classic Soccer Tournament this weekend and played 2 out of 3 games at Amelia Earhart Park on Saturday and Sunday. The fields were absolutely neglected; the soccer team was playing on dirt. The bathrooms were unattended and half were out of order. There wasn't toilet paper and the sinks were gross. I do not understand why the Miami Classic Soccer Tournament even considered this park based on the condition of the fields that the players had to play on. It was embarrassing that Amelia Earhart Park was even considered when there are much nicer parks in Miami Dade that are the same size if not larger. Look at the pictures... read more

Great mountain bike trails for everyone! Parking is $7 or so on weekends and holidays, but free on weekdays. Bring tons of bug spray as the trails are really woody - unlike the rest of Miami, haha. It's also very cool that there's water sports here, I'm dying to try it out! read more

I was so excited to visit Amelia Earhart Park and when I got there the first thing I noticed was how big it was! So full of wildlife and beautiful scenery. But then I started to notice just how much trash was ALL over the park.. horrible.. don't they pay someone to clean the park? Even the wildlife was swimming with it.. so sad read more

Good park with lots of green areas and lots of parking space. The mountain biking trails are really nice and kept in good shape. Same goes for the lakes and water skiing. Soccer fields are neglected and that needs a lot of attention. I guess it is because they play lots of tournaments and league games at these fields but that should push them to be better. Definitely a great park to bring kids and actually the whole family. read more

Amelia Earhart park is named for the famous aviator whose doomed final flight took off in 1937 from the city owned Miami Municipal Airport about a mile from the park. The land the park sits on was once undeveloped land that was part of the old Naval Air Station Miami. The Navy eventually ceased operations at the air station and gave the land to Dade County. The southern portion of the land was sold off for development and half was retained as a 515 county regional park. One of the most popular parts of the park is the farm village named for Bill Graham who was the developer of Miami Lakes. He was one of the leading lobbyists who worked to secure the land for a park. The farm village is a replica of a real farm and contains horses, cows, and sheep. You can watch cow milking and sheep shearing demonstrations. There is a petting zoo, sugar cane press, country store, crop fields, and an insect museum. Tom Sawyer's Play Island is the perfect place for children to have fun. It contains a fort style tree house and play structures designed for children 2 to 12. There are swings, climbing structures, slides, and musical instruments to play with. There are 5 lakes in the park. On the 90 acre fresh water lake you can participate in water sports at the Miami Watersports Complex. They offer cable and boat wakeboarding, kneeboarding, and paddle boarding. The park also has swan and yellow duck paddle boats for rent. The park contains 8 miles of single track and fire road bike and hiking trails. If you don't have a bike you can rent one in the park from Genesis Mountain Bike Rentals. Four legged furry friends can play at the 5 acre dog park. There are separate play areas for large and small dogs along with washing and grooming stations, doggy swimming pools, and an obstacle course. There is also a soccer complex, skateboarding, fishing pier, sand volleyball court, covered picnic pavilions, and disc golf. The things to do at this park are only limited by your imagination The park is open daily from Sunrise to Sunset. The park office is open from Monday through Friday from 8 to 5 PM. Parking is free in the park on weekdays but costs $7 on weekends and holidays. read more

What an amazing park! Watersports, paddleboat rentals, bike rentals, animals throughout, petting zoo, numerous paths, and two dog parks (one for small dogs, the other for large dogs). This park is open sunrise to sunset on weekdays and weekends. You pay $7 to park all day, through your phone. The place is very clean and gets really busy on weekends. But, it's so big you can walk just about anywhere to get some peace and quiet. I like how clean they keep it and have hand sanitizer throughout, along with restrooms. This is a hidden gem in Hialeah! read more

So, I have been back numerous times and have to say this place gets better and better. And now it is much tidier, so it must have been due to the covid before (see my previous three star review) I have enjoyed this park, sunbathed, watched the ducks, practiced my photography, climbed to the top pf the mound. to be noted not really high up, BUT once at the top you actually can see Miami skyline - see my pictures as proof. read more

Great park has multiple lakes. Great for fishing. Also they have on the lake water surfing.

I didn't even know that this park existed in Miami until I had to go pick up my number up for an obstacle course race I was participating in the next day. Plenty of parking spots available throughout this massive park. Parking is free on weekdays. On weekends and holidays, parking jumps to $7. They have Pay-by-Phone Payment. Since I had time to kill after picking up my things for my race, I decided to explore the park on an empty Friday afternoon. This park has a lot to offer for everyone! First, there is the Bill Graham Farm Village. It was created so that people can learn about the history of Miami-Dade County's agriculture. You can see the big red barn and through the barn you will see the different farm animals relaxing and chilling under the Florida sun. Next, they also offer the more active recreational activities like Wake boarding and Mountain Biking. The mountain bike trials are free from sunrise to sunset, all year round. I believe they do offer mountain bikes for renting. Boat riding is also available and may want to make reservations for that. Can't forget about Tom Sawyer's Play Island for your little ones. This playground has everything from slides, swings, a "cave" tunnel, musical instruments, monkey bars, and the list goes on! I even decided to just enjoy my Friday afternoon by going on my favorite playground item: the swings! I also saw some people fishing at the lakes. There's a soccer field too on one side of the park. And of course, this is a great place to go for a run. Overall, this was a great little gem to find in Miami. Highly recommend bringing your friends and family to escape from the busy Miami life and just come to the park to relax and be surrounded by nature. read more

This is a lovely little park if you're looking for a more fun experience than what you usually get at an outdoor landscape in Miami. Besides the common grass and flat land with some few bridges, the true excitement comes from their little farm. Last time I went to was with children and we all had a lot of fun getting to feed the goats and chickens and being so up close and personal with these four legged friends that we usually never get to see like this. The kids felt like they could truly make friends with the animals and that made me so happy to see. As well, there is a hayride around the property which is, yes, very hot if you go on a real sunny day like I did. But it is such a nice break while continuing your adventure around the park. The bathrooms can feel a bit eery with the old fixtures and poor lighting so if that's something you worry about I would try to go before coming but everything is functioning so don't worry about that :) read more

I have come to this park many times, enough to give it a solid 4 stars. The Dog Park is super large with several spots to sit on the shadows, the gazebos are well located for parties and not too expensive and I have seeing newer activities in one of the lakes.

Super cute time at the dog park with my dog and his "cousins". Today was a busy day for the little pupper section. There is a separate section for the littles and the bigs, so that's great to keep everyone safe. There's no dog water fountain in the little dog section so you'll have to walk your baby over to the big dog section to grab a drink. If you have a nosy dog keep your eyes on him/her, patrons do leave their trash, food and my dog found a old nasty dog bone on the ground that no one threw away. There are tables to sit down on and socialize while the dogs play and plenty of shade u der the trees and if you wanna bring your own chair or sit on a blanket. We were there today for 3 hours. Lots of dogs came to visit. If your dog is well behaved or even tolerable around other dogs, this is the place for you. If he or she isn't too friendly, I recommend bringing them early when it's empty. The later it gets the more packed it gets. read more

Nice park. Free parking on weekdays which is great. There's a lot of things for kids to do.

This is an amazing, huge, outdoor park to go to on any day off or a holiday! Especially with all that Covid- social distances phenomenon happening right now! Go there with your family, your kids, your friends, colleagues! Check the weather, load up your car with ppl you want to spend time with, take food, a lot of water, balls, scooters, bicycles etc. Believe me ..you will LOVE it! Humongous territory, a lot of green trees, grass, open space to do any activity or sport..run around or just simply sit and relax. They have several tiny parking spots (free). Places for picnic (wooden tables/benches if you want) or you can just sit on the grass. You will have to wear your mask (it's required) but mostly you don't because that Park is gigantic and you will find your spot mikes away from others to enjoy fresh air! Don't forget your cameras. It's beautiful out there. They have animal for kids to see and feed (goats, chickens, ducks, pony etc). Very friendly! My kid was in love with animals. Especially when it's your first time ever to see any animal in real life !! There is a lake for water sports (not sure how it is and what exactly however I saw ppl training on water scooters). I was told they have a special gear for those who would like to. Bicycle lanes all over the place to ride for hrs. A lot of professional looking ppl come here with their bicycles. Looks like this their spot to train. They also have several playgrounds for kids (what a great plus!) swing, slides, etc. They sell water and you can rent one of those family bicycle sets. Looks very cool. They also have a train kinda thing for kids. Don't forget cash because there is no ATM around there and they don't take card. We really enjoyed our day at Amelia Park. Have tons of pic and videos and the most important thing we had a quality family time outside! Stay safe and healthy! read more

One hot summer day, I came here for their mountain biking trails with a friendly neighbor. The trails had different levels of difficulty. We chose the easy trail which ended up being hard. It was very long and with so many hills and very narrow paths with tricky turns and bumps. The trail was awesome but it def wasn't easy. The heat, on the other hand, was no joke. You see.. the trails are full of trees and plenty of leaves up above that provide shade throughout. Problem is that the heat and humidity get trapped inside so the real feel was well above 100 degrees. I was soaked in my own sweat and hoping not to get too dehydrated. Obviously I survived. Overall, I love the mountain biking trail but not the heat. I highly recommend this place NOT on a hot summer day. Come prepared. read more

Came last Sunday to celebrate my friends 2 year old son birthday. The location where we were stationed was well maintained and with assistance from the park staff everything went smooth and was a success!

All in all, this park is ideal for kids and families. read more

There is so much to do in this park, I'm not even sure where to begin with this one. This park requires at least a few visits if you really want to get the whole gist of it. I mean sure, you could walk around the whole park and see all the things they have but to really experience it, it's going to take you a few tries. They have a designated area for your poocher to roam free, complete with a few fun obstacles for your furry companion to enjoy. Plenty of shelters throughout the park if you want to throw a nice little get together for whatever the occasion. Mountain bike trails for you hardcore bike riders. Didn't check them out cause I don't have a bike but I'm sure they can be challenging. You can also rent a bike, the one where mutiple people can ride it at once and go for a nice spin around the area. Don't be that friend that doesn't peddle though, I'm not carrying your dead weight! There are several lakes within this park, all of which are pretty darn big and could be a nice little picnic spot if you're looking to just enjoy a simple lunch with someone special. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with that and you might see a few ducks or iguanas during your stay. What really sold me on this place was the wakeboarding area. Oh my gosh! That is freaking amazing!!!! There are a few ramps set up out on the lake that you can show off your badass wakeboarding skills on, or face plant into the water, whichever comes first. There's this neat pulley system they have set up that pulls you around the lake and to the different ramps. That would be really cool to try with someone, anyone? Granted, I'm sure I probably wouldn't make it off of the launching area. I see a face full of water with that since my upper body strength is going to fail me. But it's worth a try and if I fail, which I'm sure I will, I can cheer my companion on graciously!!! Woooooooooo! I'm not ashamed to say I sat and watched a few people go around the lake wakeboarding and possibly snickered a bit when they wiped out. Sorry, I know, I'm horrible! But it was so funny! The only thing I didn't like about this park was the parking situation. Not that it isn't plentiful, but I do think the pay by phone parking is a bit much. Especially for those who don't have the app on their phone and would have to run back to their car to add more money. That certainly can limit your time if you're worried about getting a ticket while you're in a park. read more

This park is absolutely awesome!!!!! We went out for a short bike ride and fell in love with all this park has to offer!!! From the long biking paths to the mountain bike course to the wake board lake, this park really does have everything! We ended up spending quite of bit of time in there by the lake in the Bill Graham Farm Village and riding in that area. We saw 2 lakes but there are 5. I cant wait to go back and ride the mountain bike course and check out the other 3 lakes!!!!! The surrounding neighborhood is sketchy but the park is safe and well worth the trip! read more
