    Doggie friends playing

    The city has (finally) removed the trash dumpster from the entrance, cleaned up the DENSE VEGETATION and they have RAISED the walk path. The only reason i won't give 5 stars is because IRRESPONSIBLE dog owners keep bringing UN NEUTERED BIG DOGS to the dog park #shameful

    This is a lovely tree filled park in Hollywood. It was named for ex Hollywood Commissioner John Williams who served from 1971 until 1991. He helped to save West Lake and North Beach Parks from development. He was a dedicated environmentalist while he served on the commission so it is appropriate that a park is named in his honor. Park amenities include a dog park, picnic pavilions, instructional pavilion with seating, picnic tables, benches, a playground, restroom, and an exercise trail that loops through the park. In the back of the park is the the Sheridan Oak Forest featuring a nature walk with signs for the wildlife, plants, and trees, along the pathway. This is a great place to get exercise, see wildlife, or take the kids to play. On the day I visited many people were enjoying the park as well as a rooster and his girlfriend by the parking lot!

    This nice park off 441 and Sheridan. It's very small parking for consider for nice large park. It have a dog park. I love how they have a little kiddy pool for the dog to cool off. It have a lots of big oak tree give a lot of shades for the park. For nice beautiful park it need a lot of up keep for this place. The bathroom is horrible and very dirty. No bathroom tissue and the park goes not very considered. They left the bathroom very filthy.

    This is a cute little park right off of a busy road. There are plenty of trees for shade and a couple of pavilions with picnic benches. There is a walking trail which is quite pleasant. The reason I came here was for their dog park. There is a large enclosed area for all dogs. In that area is a smaller enclosure specifically for small dogs. The main area has two pools and a hose. One thing that would be an improvement would be a drinking fountain for the dogs. There is a small enclosed playground area for kids and there were plenty of kids playing. I noticed a wooded area with labeled trees and plants that was gated off. This is the second part of the park. I did not venture here. Maybe I will come back sometime and explore further.

    Happy face

Designed by Bruce Devlin and Robert Von Hagge, the course served as a focal point for the community as it hosted major PGA and USGA qualifiers. The community is considered to be one of the premier neighborhoods in west-central Hollywood combining quiet, upscale residential living with close proximity to urban conveniences and major transportation routes. Emerald Hills has several lovely parks including this one. Park amenities include a large dog park, gazebo, open green space, picnic areas, walking path, and a large, modern playground that was installed two years ago. The playground is several stories tall with tube slides and climbing structures. When I stopped by on a Saturday night for a quick walk around the park the playground rang out with the laughter of children having a ball while a number of parents were keeping careful watch. All of the parks in Emerald Hills are filled with families highlighting what a close knit community this is.

To my surprise, there must have been one hundred kids and parents packing the playground, basketball court and baseball field. A few benches under a large shade tree to take a break from the extreme heat today. Noticed they had a 'Little Free Library' constructed next to the benches. Across the field at the South end of the park was a fenced in dog park where we took the puppy to play with another small dog and he loved it. A water fountain and doggy poop bags are offered. No shade whatsoever so beware.

I say this because located beyond the dog park areas I see lovely shaded trails and a big lake that is kind of hidden by trees as well as a play area for the kids. We will definitely venture out and beyond on one of our future visits. Being that my dog is a sweet senior, we just don't cover as much ground as we would like but there's always time to come back again and again. This just gives us more to look forward to on future visits. Besides having a separate fenced in areas for both small & large dogs, each park has several play &/or training obstacles that are extra perks you don't find at many dog parks these days. This park is protected by beautiful palms, willows, oaks, and more. Beautiful landscaping and I have to say SUPER SUPER clean. Owners obviously appreciate this park and clean up after their pets as everyone should at every darn dog park. I followed directions via GPS via the Yelp app and when you pull in you will see tennis courts and basketball courts on your right and then there is a lane to the left which has big paw dog prints that lead to the park. ...and the rest is history! Take your pup there already!

In ancient times, the Tequesta used the river for travel and in the 1800's, the Seminoles set up a trading post to service early Miami settlers. Later on the land was a limestone quarry. Dedicated in 1936, Greynold's is Miami's second oldest park. It was created by the Civilian Conservation Corps. which was part of Roosevelt's New Deal Program that was set up to provide work for Americans who were suffering from the Great Depression. The limestone from the quarry was used for the buildings in the park. Greynold's is one on my favorite parks in Miami. I have been to the west side but this was my first time visiting the east end. The park has a lot of beautiful trees which support the local bird population. As I was walking around I saw a red shouldered hawk swoop down for a meal. Park amenities in this part of the park include a restroom, dog park, and kayak launch. There is a vendor renting kayaks or bring your own. You can paddle up the Oleta River to the intracoastal, north into Dumbfoundling Bay and back to the launch. It is a 6-7 mile loop with nice scenery for most of the paddle. The only thing I dislike about Greynold's park is they charge $7 for parking on weekends. Parks are funded by tax payers so I am used to parking for free. Greynold's started charging for parking over a year ago and I am not sure why North Miami felt they needed to start doing that. Possibly they were trying to be like nearby Oleta River Park which also has kayak rentals and charges a similar fee for entrance to the park.

Also has a doggie water fountain so they can drink as well as a hose to wash off the dogs if they get dirty. Highly recommend. There are also human bathrooms at the park as well.
