Also, the old park used to have more shade, so that's a big thing missing. My kids still enjoy it but if it's too hot they can't play on some of the items because it's boiling hot due to no shade.

It drains out of the Everglades into Biscayne Bay at Biscayne National Park. The park is across the street from a distributary channel off the creek. Snapper Creek is a dog friendly park so feel free to bring your well behaved canine friends. There is a large open field for running and playing and paved walkways for strolling. The park is also kid friendly with an adequate shade covered playground with climbing structures and slides. The large trees provide shade and natural beauty in the park. While the park doesn't have a lot of amenities beyond the playground and benches it is still a welcome respite of nature and recreation in the neighborhood.

In a land of large backyards, a place like this is still needed because it brings people together. This park has a great playground, some dog parks, a football field, a basketball court, a tennis court, softball field but the busiest part of the park??? Of course the pickle ball courts. What a lame sport. People talk about the direction of America and I point to pickle ball as one of the things that is bringing us down

Suniland Park is one of five parks managed by the Pinecrest Parks and Recreation Department…read more Suniland Estates is a neighborhood in Pinecrest featuring expansive, luxury homes. The community dates back to 1950 and has continued to develop over the years. Suniland Park was created from Rock Pit #21, a five acre parcel that Miami Dade County purchased in 1916. In 1938 they added 3.5 acres and dedicated the land to be used for a park. On September 8, 1962, the county officially agreed to develop the property with athletic facilities including baseball and football fields and basketball courts. In 1999, the facility was deeded by the county to the Village of Pinecrest. The park was completely redeveloped during 2002-2003. The $1.6 million improvements to the park included building a gazebo, enhancements to the basketball courts and fields, a new jogging/walking path, and lighting upgrades. Today Suniland Park is known for Andre Dawson Field and Howard Palmetto Hall of Fame Field. Andre Nolan Dawson, nicknamed "the Hawk" and "Awesome Dawson", is an American former professional baseball outfielder who was born in Miami. He played 21 seasons in Major League Baseball on four different teams as a center and right fielder and spent most of his career with the Montreal Expos and Chicago Cubs. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2010 and is a longtime Pinecrest resident. The main field was dedicated to Dawson in 2011. The park is home to the Howard Palmetto Baseball Softball Association, the largest recreational baseball and softball league for children 4-17 in Florida. The league was founded in 1962 and since then over one hundred and twenty thousand people have participated, coached, or attended games at the league. The active ten-acre park has multipurpose athletic fields for both baseball and football, batting cages, basketball courts, a multipurpose room, a Wi-Fi Spot in the gazebo, a playground, and Pawcrest Park, the only off-leash dog park in Pinecrest. Many generations of Pinecrest kids grew up playing at this park and it is still just as beloved today.

The grass is cut are amenities are decently maintained. There are 2 tennis courts. They are pretty good and were very busy while I was there. It seems like that is the park's amenities that is the favorite and gets the most use. There is about a quarter mile paved walking/jogging trail around the park. That was getting a lot of use too. There is a lot of trash along the backside of the fence though. There are some benches within the playground area and scattered around the park. There are also some picnic tables around the park. The park also has a full basketball court. The court is in good shape, but one of the backboards and goals are missing. There is also a decent playground with two banks of swings, one for smaller kids and one traditional. There is a jungle gym with a slide and a thing to climb on. The ground is covered with a combination of artificial grass and wood chips. You will find restroom facilities here as well, in addition to a covered pavilion with picnic tables under it. You will need to make reservations for the pavilion The park has a huge baseball/kickball field that has a huge outfield that can be used to play Frisbee, soccer, football, catch and the like. It is well groomed and very spacious. All and all, this is a neat park. I would probably get there early because can get very hot out there and many people get there when the park opens to beat the heat.

These include a picnic pavilion, shade covered fitness zone with exercise equipment, a large shade covered playground, paved walkways, and lighted soccer field where a youth soccer league meets.

I love tropical park…read more I've been coming to this park for like 30 years . Not sure if you are a fan of running you can use causeway and bridges for hill and speed work. There's something nostalgic about running up what used to feel like a mountain, but in actuality is a hill. This park has a bit of everything for folks who want to get in a jog in a safe and close place to birthday parties, events, family outings, even spend a little bit of time on the water There are basketball and tennis courts and a great equestrian center . The other side of this park used to be a winter time Christmas celebration. The park itself has a plethora of random parking spots , but my favorite thing has to be being outdoors in a safe place Please, no as with virtually all other places, I am not wanting to hang around after dark . Additionally, though there is a regulation 400 m track on the bird road side of the park that opens early, I am not one to arrive somewhere before the sun comes up. That being said the hours of operation are convenient for folks who are visiting and want to just relax or for those that are training for something physical and getting healthy and prefer being outdoors instead of inside a gym with recirculated air Tip: the distance from SW. 56th St. to SW. 40th St. is exactly 1 mile. If you run along the west side of the park, you can literally run safely without heavily tracking distance and instead focus on the run and how you feel I highly encourage anyone who hasn't been to this park to visit it and touch grass every now and then . I love it and I will continue doing so anytime. I'm in town.

He must have quite the sense of humor to name his daughter Merrie. Not so funny was the fact that Merrie passed away at the age of 15 in 1969 and her father named the park in her honor. In 2014 the city of Miami discovered toxic metals at the park and shut it down for the next 2 years. Clean up of the park cost over a million dollars. Today the park is open and is a popular destination for the people who live in the neighborhood. The park has giant banyan trees and a large open area perfect for play. Other park amenities include an exercise path, picnic tables, and a playground. On the evening I visited people were having a party, kids were playing on the playground, and dogs were running across the lawn. This is a beautiful spot for the community of Coral Gables to gather.

They also provide a great deal of shade all around the park. The trees are also great places to explore with your little ones. So guess what, the main draw of this park I would say is the huge trees The park also has a nice playground and swings. A pretty nice patch of grass to run around in and a bit of a walking path. The one huge negatives is the serious lack of parking. Great for the folks that live around there cause I'm sure it keeps the rifraf away but since I'm the rifraf, I wish parking was easier to find
