Seriously, it has everything. Only complaint is the walking paths could be paved a bit better.

The complex has 4 very well maintained baseball diamonds with some nice scoreboards. There is also a batting cage near the parking area and picnic tables in the grass.

In terms of parks in Miami, this is probably one of the nicer parks and not as well known. It's essentially hidden from US 1 and as a result, rarely gets very packed. Highlights include: 1. Separate playground areas for age groups. Toddler play area consists of several obstacles, slides and swings. The larger kids area has a wide range of playsets including swings, slides, rocks to climb, and a large spinning climbing "tree". There's also plenty of benches and a covered seating area that offers shade. 2. Nice sized skatepark which has recently been painted. 3. Nice sized indoor shelter to host birthday parties. You need to call and book in advance. 4. Fields are nicely run and often hosts softball and baseball games. All in all, one of the nicer parks in Miami. A great place to visit with the kids. They also frequently host county and local activities and events as well.

Douglas Park, is an expansive 10-acre site park just outside Coral Gables city limits. In the…read more1930's this site was a Coral Gables rock quarry and dump. By 2013 it was one of seven parks in the area found to be contaminated by heavy metals from the old West Grove incinerator closed in 1970. Residents called it Old Smokey for the thick clouds of dark smoke it bellowed for half a century. Douglas Park was closed for three years to remove antimony, arsenic, barium, copper, iron, and lead from the soil. Miami spent eleven million dollars to decontaminate the parks. To clean Douglas Park the top layers of soil containing heavy metals were excavated and removed and then a protective lining: was installed to prevent any remaining contaminants from reaching the groundwater. Clean soil was then added to the top. Douglas Park reopened on June 29, 2017 and today it is a thriving green space enjoyed by members of the community. I enjoyed the walking trail and the Christmas tree already set up in the park. Other park amenities include a baseball field where there was a game taking place, basketball court, large covered outdoor gym, covered picnic pavilion, a large newly renovated fenced in playground, tennis courts, and a very nice dog park. There is large amounts of open space for play and practice. The wide range of amenities draws crowds and if there is one down side it is that parking spaces are tight and rather limited.

Although I typically prefer to stay within the Coral Gables boundaries, crossing Douglas Ave to visit this green space is worth it. If you're walking here, then you don't have to worry about parking. If you're driving here, beware of the limited parking spots within the lot but note that there are plenty of street parking available as well. Walking my dog here is a breeze because there's plenty of lighting and green patches for her to sniff away. If you're coming with your kids, there's plenty of outdoor activities available so it's certainly family-friendly. It's well lit even throughout the evening hours so safety is not an issue.

Park amenities include a lighted baseball field, racquetball court, benches, picnic pavilion, playground, and a recreation center that offers school break camps, youth leagues, and after school programs. The park also has teqball tables which is a new sport to me. Teqball uses a table that looks like table tennis but instead is curved. The sport combining table tennis and football was invented in 2014 by Hungarians: Gabor Borsanyi and Viktor Huszar. Borsnyi was injured playing soccer and wanted to find a less aggressive sport. Today soccer players use it for supplemental training. It has become one of the fastest growing sports in the world. After less than 10 years, more than 100 countries already have their own teqball associations. I really loved my visit to Hammocks Community Park. From the parking lot it doesn't look like much but I picked up the pathway that goes past the playground and sports fields to the back of the park where it runs next to a scenic lake. There are large trees in the back of the park offering shade and shelter to wildlife. For anyone looking for more exercise, you can pick up the 7.3 mile Hammocks Lakes Loop at the entrance to Hammocks Community Park. The paved trail winds around the lake and apartment complexes. It is ideal for birding, walking, running, bike riding, and dog walking.

Most importantly, there's actually bathrooms which makes things a lot easier when you just gotta go. The area is in the nicer edge of SoMi so the neighborhood is definitely aesthetically pleasing. It's right in between Miller and Sunset on 67th Avenue so you can exit either road and be here in a heartbeat. Now, go enjoy those great outdoors.

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.
