Drop in tennis drills are awesome. Good people and the pace keeps moving. They guard the level well. And who doesn't love a clay court. Demo a racket or buy your own. read more

Flamingo Park is a beautiful park in the heart of South Beach. You have tennis courts, racquet ball courts, basketball courts, a swimming pool, two dog parks, and plenty of spaces to sit.

Flamingo is a great spot to walk, job, ride your bike in or take the time to sit and enjoy the sun/breeze. It's great having a nice green space in the middle of Miami Beach. read more

Really fantastic park with tennis courts, basketball, handball/squash courts, pickleball (4 courts), playground, pool, lots of grassy areas, decent public bathrooms. The lights close at 10pm and pickleball courts tend to have a line (as per usual for Miami). read more

perfect place to relax, exercise, or just enjoy a sunny day surrounded by nature right in the heart of South Beach. The park is always clean, well maintained, and feels very safe at any time of the day. What I love most about this park is how much it has to offer -- there's something for everyone. The swimming pool is amazing, especially on hot Miami days, and the gym area is spacious and modern. The tennis courts, basketball courts, and soccer fields are always in great condition, and you can tell the city really takes care of this place. It's also a great spot for families and dog owners. The playground area for kids is big and colorful, and there's a nice dog park where pets can run freely and safely. The walking paths are lined with palm trees and plenty of shade, perfect for jogging, walking, or just sitting down to read or have a coffee. The location is unbeatable -- close to everything in South Beach but still calm and peaceful. It's like a little green oasis in the middle of the city. Whether you're local or visiting, Flamingo Park is definitely worth spending some time in. It has that special Miami vibe -- energetic, tropical, and friendly. Every time I come here, I leave feeling refreshed and grateful. It's one of those places that truly make Miami Beach such a great city to live in or visit. Highly recommended! read more

I never knew this massive park was tucked into a residential neighborhood just a few blocks off of Lincoln Road in South Beach. Residents most likely prefer it that way. Ninety-five percent of the people who use this park live in the neighborhood but I stumbled on it while looking for Lincoln Road parking. Flamingo Park is located in the historic Flamingo Park section of South Beach. It is one of Miami Beach's oldest parks dating back to the 1950. The land the park sits on was once part of the old Flamingo Golf Course, an amenity for Carl Fisher's grand hotel built in 1921 on the Biscayne side of the beach. The northern end of today's park and Lincoln Rod was a polo field. Carl Fisher lost his fortune in the crash of 1929 and ended his life in a modest cottage on the beach. The hotel was demolished in 1955 and replaced by the Flamingo South Beach Apartments. The golf course was destroyed on Sep. 18, 1926 by Category 4 hurricane called The Big Blow. On December 2, 1926, the owners of the Flamingo Golf Course turned over the property to the City of Miami Beach. That same year permission was granted to put a baseball diamond on The Flamingo Golf Course. In April 1929, the Miami News reported that the City of Miami Beach purchased Flamingo Park for $300,000. Eventually an open air theater and six tennis courts were added. In the ensuing years the park was used for boxing matches. A theater built in the park in 1932 has since been demolished and forgotten as has the art shows, Easter egg hunts, and elephant rides that were once held in the park. Flamingo Field was used for spring training by the New York Giants from 1934-1935, the Philadelphia Phillies from 1940-1942 and 1946, and the Pittsburg Pirates in 1947. The field was also home to the minor league Miami Beach Tigers in 1940. Today the baseball field is adjacent to a soccer field. The park also has a new tennis center with 17 clay courts. From 1947 to 1998 the tennis center was home to the Orange Bowl International Tennis Championships where John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg played as juniors. Other park amenities include a shaded outdoor fitness zone, swimming pool, a football field and track, basketball courts, handball courts, restrooms, and two dog parks. There is an ADA accessible playground for 2-5 year old and 5-12 year old with play structures like a rock wall, swings, and spring riders. The Police Athletic gym and children's after school structure is within the park, as well as a new structure housing the county's Boys and Girls Club. This park has long been a center of community and recreation for South Beach. With its variety of play and exercise options it will continue to bring recreational enjoyment to future generations. read more

BASKETBALL PICKUP GAMES GALORE. There is a great basketball scene at this park every weekday starting around 6 pm and going as late as 10 pm when the park closes. There are also soccer fields and baseball fields here. The main building provides water fountains that can fill your water bottle which is really great. There is some free street parking available right next to the park if you are lucky enough to grab a space. If we lived locally I'd be coming here often! read more

We enjoyed visiting this park multiple times during our visit to Miami. One of the few places that actually have free parking though there were times where we had to wait for it. We visited the playground most of the time but the outdoor fitness area was pretty unique. Just like any playground, there are those entitled kids who either go up the slide blocking other kids and the parents who don't watch their kids properly yapping away. But all in all, we enjoyed this park. read more

First is first: NO there are no flamingos spotted here even though when I googled it some photos popped up with flamingos. It's a nice park to play sports at or walk around and enjoy the fresh air. I walked by a baseball game, a tennis match, a couple people walking, a few sitting and jokingly told me all the flamingos are long gone and I might be able to find some in the everglades. Beautiful line of palm trees and cool looking trees with interesting trunks. read more

Visited the pool at flamingo park. One of the cooler days and the water was just too cold for the kids to bare it. The kiddie pool is great, I think they should add a life guard to the kiddie pool because the one lifeguard that is there can't see the opposite side. Great place to work on laps and doesn't seem to be too full. The playground outside is great too. Big area and under shade. Gotta love that! read more

There are no flamingos in this park, like I thought there would be. But it's a really active park, with the children yelling/laughing and the big tennis courts. People jog in groups through here all day long. It was nice to sit here, relax and read a book. There's a public restroom, so hope that detail helps! read more

We went late in the day, however, we enjoyed the beach. It was nice and clean except for the seaweed floating ashore. The only thing we couldn't locate was the public restrooms so we left after a couple hours. read more

We only used the pool and splash pad and it was lovely! Very quiet and this was a wonderful break from the beach. Our kids met another family and played for a bit. Big umbrellas provided a lot of shade and my kids were excited to spot multiple iguanas. read more

This is the end all spot in South Beach. Anybody living here or spending quality time in the area should be taking advantage of its amenities... Playgrounds for the kids, a pool & mini water park that is free for residents, low cost tennis courts, basketball courts, a track area, baseball & soccer fields, a community center and gym... It really has it all... And staying active is what South Beach is all about. read more

Flamingo Park - Iguanas hanging out near the playground. - Parks Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This is the best park in South Miami Beach, centrally located right in the middle of it all. Flamingo Park is fully equipped with anything you could hope for, a tennis center, community pool, soccer field, baseball field, basketball courts, racket ball court, handball, huge playground, track and field, the best part, two large enclosed dog parks. We come to this park daily with our dog so he can play frisbee and run off some energy. I tried playing with a boomerang here, ended up running from it. Clearly I need lessons on how to catch them. When that thing comes flying back at you it is absolutely terrifying, I took off running the other direction. Nonetheless, it's a fabulous park to spend the day being active. read more

I recently took a vacation to Miami. I was planning on getting some open water swimming in but ocean was very rough the first couple days in town. I was resigning myself that I was going to have to settle for dryland training when the good folks at Crunch directed me to the pool at Flamingo Park. This was a great find. The pool has plenty of lanes (I am thinking 10 but not really sure) and the depth goes from 3.5 ft to 7 ft in each lane. The regulars are nice and I never had a problem getting a lane one the 4 days I did my workouts. The cost of the pool is free for residents but they will allow vistors in for $10 a session. The locker room is clean but I would probably avoid using it in the future. Come ready to swim and leave your bags out by your lane. Since Crunch wanted $35 a day the Flamingo Park pool was a great find. Even though the ocean did eventually calm down I still did a morning work at the pool before heading to the ocean. Flamingo Park is only a 5 minute walk on 11th from the hotels on Ocean Drive. read more

The pool and environment is clean and beautiful. BUT as a non-resident in Florida (comming from Switzerland) it's a pity not to be able to buy some kind of season pass. Every time we'd like to access the swimming pool we need to buy a $10 ticket per person. As a family with 4 members it costs each time $40!!! I thought Zurich is expensive city but Miami Beach tops it. read more

We have such a beautiful park in Sobe! I just wish there would be more activities when it comes to Softball!

It's a very good place for walking. There are here a huge playground with a lot of different amenities. I like to spending time here with my daughter. Suggest everyone to spend time with your kids! read more

This park has public clay tennis courts, two full court outdoor basketball courts, racquet ball courts, a pool and a dog park. The basketball courts are lighted and usually open until late afternoon and the evenings. It's more or less a SOBE scene with the West courts unofifically reserved for a full court game and you'll need to assert yourself to get into that game. The two East courts usually have unofficial 3 on 3 games and again, you'll need to assert yourself to get the next game. You can reserve a tennis court by calling or try dropping in, but on weeknights and weekends you should reserve a court. There are also tennis lessons. Don't be surprised if they limit your play to an hour only, even if it is busy. It's a SOBE thing. I've played on a company COED softball league on the baseball field. The league we were in was very competitive league but was well organized. The baseball fields are lighted. There is public parking in the main lot near the swimming pool and tennis courts. There is also street parking on the East and West sides of the park. read more

Not only does this public park impress with the variety of playing fields and recreational options, but you can even call in advance to reserve a tennis court. The only downside can be their court scheduling. On a bad day, you could be running between courts kicking people off the court they swear they've reserved for extra time. Also on the downside is they $13 fee per court (for residents, more for non-residents). Hit up 305-673-7761 and just let them know your name and desired court time for a reservation. read more

All around great park! Used by tons of people, but the city really maintains it well, there's always working doing work somewhere. The park has 2 fenced in areas for dogs. One is always locked because they spray for bugs and do landscaping while it's locked and the other will be open. They switch about once a month. Also, if you have a dog, there are always people with their dogs off leash in other parts of the park. Not "allowed" but mostly overlooked. Extra thumbs up for the many "doggie bags" available in case you forgot to bring one. Park also has tennis courts, swimming pool that is free to miami beach residents, kids play area with surrounding fence so the kiddies don't wander to far, soccer fields, baseball diamond, racquetball facilities, basketball courts, picnic tables by playground (always people having kids birthday parties), running track, parking lot ... so much going on I'm sure I'm missing something. Bike friendly, skateboard and rollerblade friendly (sidewalks). People are very cool and local. Gets busy in the afternoon, esp between 5-8pm. read more

So fun to play tennis here while in town on vacation. You can book clinics and courts online which makes it super easy. Clinics were fun. I'm a seasonal player and was placed in a group with others at my level. Cute clothes in the pro shop too! read more

Flamingo Park is a huge green expanse located in the center of South Beach. They have a full-size football field (where Miami Beach High plays), with a track around it (4 laps = 1 mile). There's a gym, but you have to be a member of the Police Athlethic League to use it. There's an outdoor pool, a bunch of tennis courts, racquetball courts, basketball courts, a dog park, a baseball diamond, and even a soccer field. Not to mention a playground for the little ones, and tons of green space to just relax and enjoy the sunny SoBe weather. The park is well lit, and you can find people there getting their exercise on at pretty much ever hour of the day. Check out the website, or go an ask questions about joining the pool or signing up for tennis lessons. Prices are very reasonable, even if you're not a Miami Beach resident. The park is walking distance from most of the SoBe area, but there's parking all around it if you're coming from farther away. read more

I want to like this park so much. It's like a movie starring your favorite movie stars and favorite director that you want to like, but despite all the right elements, nothing seems to come together and at the end, you are left with the feeling of disappointment and wasted time. Yes, Flamingo Park is like that. It is perfectly located in South Beach. It is a good size and has large fields, basketball courts, racquetball courts, baseball diamonds, soccer fields, water park, tennis courts, dog park... All this would seem like the ideal place to spend time outdoors, but here is where reality meets concept and kicks it squarely in the proverbial balls! The park is so poorly maintained that prison exercise yards seem like paradise in comparison. The grass is less grass and more weeds, poison ivy and crab grass, with dog poo scattered like land mines everywhere to a point that the UN may intervene. The basketball court has more potholes and broken ground than Jersey, not to mention the rusted backboards. The swimming pool is where the US government weaponizes bacteria into chemical weapons, despite smelling like a large vat of Chrlorine! The racquetball and handball courts are open-air bathrooms for homeless people and more useless than a Kardashian. Parking is damn near impossible to find with all the residential spots, and make sure to pack a gun if you are going to be here at night... I can go on, but I am sure you get the picture. It is sad for me, who lives so close to this park and want so much to have a beautiful place to spend the day, throwing the ball around, playing racquetball or just relaxing with a picnic basket. If they take some care of this park, it can be the centerpiece of South Beach outdoor life and a hotspot of locals and activity. For now, I give this place two stars and cross my fingers with some hope. read more

Forgetting the fact that the basketball/handball courts are straight out of a state penitentiary, Flamingo Park has a good amount going for it. To begin with, it's much bigger than it looks. Multiple soccer fields, tennis courts, baseball diamonds (including one with stands), a dog park, basketball courts, a football field, handball courts, a running track, parallel/high bars, a playground, a swimming pool with bells & whistles (literally), palm trees, shade trees, and a public gym are just some of the goods you'll find in the park. With all these amenities, expect a decent amount of green space in area known for its beaches. It's a nice surprise. With all of these goings on, expect it to be packed... and it is. The park is always busy. Expect the shrieks of little children, families picnicking on the tables, more dogs than a Best in Show show [point of order: dog owners, clean up after your pooch. Seriously.], bike riders committed to the idea of running over pedestrians, young ruffians playing soccer and/or basketball, restaurant workers getting some calisthenics in between/after shifts, prison muscle working out in the gyms, older men who, for some reason, keep going in and out of the men's room (must have small bladders), lots of tennis players, teenagers who, if their public behavior is to be followed to the next logical step, will soon be parents, construction workers, very few tourists, and one dashing community manager cutting through on the way to and fro. Oh, and everyone there will be talking much more loudly than they need to be. And, despite all of the insanity, it's actually a peaceful respite from the day-to-day of South Beach. Check it out but, maybe, steer clear of those bathrooms. read more

Ok, so Flamingo's Bark Park is the closest one to my apartment. It's within walking distance and it's pretty sizeable, so I give it credit there. Beyond that, I can't think of many good things to say about it. I've been going to this dog park for well over a year, and they have never had both of the adjacent parks open at the same time. When it rains just a little bit, both parks become nasty muddy messes. The larger of the two parks is always muddy due to poor engineering in regards to runoff from the watering station. The bag stations are frequently empty and the trash is always full. There are way too many dogs in sobe to have only one small dog park open at a time. Forget about going at 6pm during the week; there are too many dogs and people to feel safe there. Not to mention some of the unsavory characters and animals who frequent it (pit bulls, unspayed females in heat, unfriendly owners who get upset if their pup wants to play with other dogs). With so many dogs there, how can one be sure they are all under flea control? Up to date on rabies shots? Sick or with worms? Maybe I'm hypersensitive, but I want to give my buddy the best, and this park doesn't cut it. Bottom Line: Flamingo Bark Park will pass in a pinch but there are better places out there to take your furry friend. read more

On those gorgeous Miami days when swimming in pool significantly outweighs my desire to sit behind a desk, I head to Flamingo Park. You just show your local ID and voila, instant gratification. If you're stringing along a fleet of toddlers, there's a separate area complete with water squirters... I often feel like I'm in an amusement park. The more serious swimmers can do laps in the sectioned off lanes while casual swimmers can hit up the open swim area that offers a nice depth. When being dry is my next mission, I park it on a nearby lounge chair. A great find indeed! read more

There's something very peaceful about Flamingo Park. Set in the residential area of western South Beach. The grass is always perfectly kept. There is plenty of parking (a rarity here), and many different activity sites such as a large pool, football field with running track, basketball hoops,etc. Lots of lovely, well maintained trees to provide shade for you on a sunny day. read more

After walking down Lincoln Road, we decided to take the kids to playground at this park. It's just a short walk from there and felt like a safe area (just be cautious of the traffic because a lot of people don't pay attention). The first thing I noticed is that the playground area is fenced in, which always helps to ease my mind a bit since my 3-year old has a propensity for running out into parking lots. The space is big and open, with beautiful old trees that provide a lot of shade. The play area is expansive with several different areas that cater to kids of all ages. The grounds and equipment seemed to be well-maintained. There is a combination of mulch and soft top covering the ground, depending on what part of the playground you're in. No sand. It's relatively easy to maneuver a stroller there, but definitely tricky if you're trying to chase a small child from one end to the other while pushing the baby in the stroller. (Would've been easier to wear the baby!) There are plenty of benches to sit at, but none really offer a good vantage point of the whole playground... so if you have a little one to keep an eye on, you'll be moving a lot. While we were there, I didn't notice any mosquitoes. There was a nice breeze blowing through and the shade from the trees helped keep it comfortable. We visited on a Sunday afternoon and there quite a few kids there. Not overwhelmingly crowded, but definitely busy. There were kids of all ages playing. The pool was right beside the playground and looked like it would be a perfect way to cool off after running around the playground. If you're in the area, definitely give this park a shot! And even if you live a bit farther away, I'd say it's still a great spot to visit and hang out. Play-date worthy! :) read more

I love the courts at Flamingo Park in South Beach! Yes the place is packed and yes, they double-book the courts quite often, but the atmosphere, the climate, the clay/ har-through surface are all amazing and unique. Very different (and better) experience from hard courts. There are 17 outdoor public courts here with lights. There is also an active 3.5 and 4.0 seasonal tennis ladder which you can join for $20 and issue challenges to other participants in the ladder. Tennis clinics are run often by some of the local pros. The cost was $20 in 2007. Since this is a public tennis facility, the court fee to play on the courts is nominal - a few dollars, depending on whether or not you are a South Beach resident, which (they can't and) rarely check. You can reserve a tennis court by calling (305) 673-7761. There is a $2 "phone fee" for taking a court reservation over the phone, which they never remember to charge you for. read more
