This iconic Coconut Grove park was named in honor of David Thomas Kennedy (April 7, 1934 -…read moreSeptember 4, 2014). Kennedy was an attorney and politician who served as the Mayor of Miami from 1970 until 1973. Kennedy is credited with drafting the plans for the creation of Miami's Bicentennial Park which opened in 1976. David T. Kennedy Park is 20 acres and sits on the coastal mangrove shore of Biscayne Bay where there is access for kayaking and paddleboarding. Benches are set up so you can catch the sunrise and sunset and bay breeze. Park amenities include a dog park, open lawn, outdoor fitness equipment, picnic table, playground, and volleyball court. The expansive lawns, tree-lined walking paths, and a range of recreational facilities make this park a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. Also in the park is A.C.'s Icees frozen lemonade truck selling refreshing treats near the parking lot. This frosted lemonade stand has been a park land mark since 1978. Even on the weekend, the park is spacious enough to never feel crowded. If there is one drawback, it would be the lack of parking during peak use time. Overall, David T. Kennedy Park is a fantastic representation of the Miami Dade Park system by combining relaxation and recreation in one beautiful location. Whether you're visiting for a few hours or spending the day, the park provides a welcoming recreational space for outdoor activities and leisurely enjoyment.

Today we went to this water park for my little cousin's 8th birthday, a celebration that had been…read moreplanned well in advance. Our family spent weeks organizing everything, invested a significant amount of money, and arrived early to spend over two hours decorating the reserved birthday area we had rented for the day. There was a brief moment of thunder, and we completely understand that guests cannot be in the water during lightning or thunder for safety reasons. However, the thunder stopped almost immediately, there was no rain at that time or for the rest of the day, yet the staff forced everyone to leave the park. We were also required to take down all of our birthday decorations, despite having paid to reserve the space. The staff was rude, provided little to no explanation, and told us we would not receive a refund. This policy was never disclosed to us when booking the birthday rental. About 1hr later, we were finally allowed back into the park, but by then we had to completely redecorate the party area and contact all of the families and children who had already left so they could return. It created unnecessary stress, confusion, and took away from what should have been a special day for an 8-year-old. This is a warning to anyone considering booking a birthday party or group event here. Be aware that if weather causes even a brief closure, you may be forced to leave, dismantle your entire event, and receive no refund or clear communication. We were very disappointed by how this situation was handled and expected much better customer service.

Henry Flagler brough his Florida East Coast Railway from West Palm Beach into the area now known as Kendale Lakes in 1903. In 1926 a hurricane devastated the area plunging it into an economic depression. The New Deal Program created by President Roosevelt helped to provide work and many CCC workers built structures all over Miami Dade County. During WWII Kendale Lakes remained largely rural as the rest of Miami sprang up. In the 1970's and 80's it was considered a bedroom community with homes owned by doctors and lawyers. Today Kendale Lakes is a well-loved suburban community with excellent schools and beautiful parks like this one. Kendale Park has a large open area for walking your dog, play, and exercise. A paved walkway winds through the park and in the center of the park is a playground and outdoor exercise equipment.

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.

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.
