I was here about an hour and enjoyed seeing the boats and a HUGE ship going past, that actually blocked my sunning time! See my pictures and videos to get an idea. I also found it fascinating to see some trinkets, at the waters edge which was indicative for me for the Cuban culture here in Miami as offerings to God etc. Ducks, a few people dotted around, nice trees, a real gem of a place. You should come and check it out if you have not. Oh! and you can also launch boats from here.

This is a park located in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Miami. The park is on Wagner Creek…read morewhere the Miami River meets the Seybold Canal. Spring Garden is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Miami. It was settled in the 1840's by William English who built a coontie starch mill. Coontie was used like flour in the Seminole diet. They passed it on the settlers and it became known as Florida's arrowroot. The land Spring Garden Point Park sits on used to be a tourist attraction called Alligator Joe's. In the early 1900's. Warren Frazee also known as Alligator Joe staged an alligator wrestling show for tourists visiting Miami. During the summer he would take alligators and other Florida mammals on tours to northern states. While displaying animals at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exhibition he contracted double pneumonia passing away shortly after at the age of 46. Adjacent to the park is another historic piece of land, the former estate of John Seybold, a German immigrant who came to Miami in 1896. He became a successful baker and bought the property where Alligator Joe's once sat on the Miami River. He developed the neighborhood of Spring Garden named after a spring on the southeast corner of NW 11th Street and NW 8th Street and a garden of oak trees and palms. The Seybold family lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years. Spring Garden experienced significant growth from 1910 to the 1940's. Spring Garden Pointe was created in 1999 when the Spring Garden neighborhood partnered with the Trust for Public Land. This is a passive park where people from the neighborhood like to walk their dogs. There are trees, a paved path, and a couple of benches including an interesting stone one. I enjoyed reading the historic signs and watching the boats as they sailed down the Miami River. This park is on the Miami River Greenway, a 6.2 mile trail that begins at Bayfront Park and ends at NW 24th Ave. The trail links neighborhoods, businesses, cultural attractions, historic sites, and 9 public parks along both banks of the historic Miami River.

But never the less it has its own charm - it is a small triangular park tucked away in a nice pocket in this area, right on the water. It offer a sweet, old school style atmospheric/ Coral Gables style bench as you enter which unfortunately, (or fortunately depending how you feel about it ) a bin for doggie waste. This bin was over flowing with doggy bags - which in essence is wonderful to see as it means the pooches owners clean up (they were all a lilac colour btw!). However, the stench was b a d, therefore NOONE would ever sit on that bench. I met a lovely couple who owned their own designed property quite close, who kindly told me some history about the place. It IS being spruced up, a new river wall is being built and they are discussing what to do, even talking about a kayak launch. To be honest you could kayak from there already and local people in the know apparently do, but it is essentially NOT on the map YET for this. If the grounds were in a better condition ie no evidence of rubbish, over flowing smelly bins I would give 5 stars... Still if you want a slice of quiet, to watch the ebb and flow of boats slip by you amongst the Miami River, I will see you there!!!!

(From March, 2023)…read more Apparently there's a large history behind this place based on Ariel's review from May, 2018. As a site of native americans, it went from a possible luxury condo complex to one of the most beautiful parks/walkways in the city. It's a fabulous spot to get steps in and soak in the sun while you hear the sounds of water and boats navigating the sea. The park is clean from what I saw and the citizens take proper care of it as they should. I happened to stop here from my morning stay at the Hyatt to get a nice glimpse of the views before heading to the ports for my ships sail. City is lucky to have this historic exhibit of history in this location and a nice park to complement it!

Miami with history? well yes if you know where to look! Here is all the information you need…read more Prehistoric !! Discovered in 1998, the origins of the Miami Circle - an archaeological site in downtown Miami - remain one of the city's most intriguing mysteries. Known by a few different names - the Miami River Circle and Brickell Point, to name two - the Miami Circle was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2009, seven years after it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The circle was uncovered in early 1998, when property developer Michael Bauman commissioned a routine archaeological survey of the site. Part of a plan to demolish the existing apartment complex in order to build luxurious condos, the plans were brought to a screeching halt when surveyors discovered hundreds of strange holes beneath a layer of limestone. After further investigation, it was discovered that 24 of the largest holes formed a perfect circle with a whopping 38-foot diameter. Several artefacts were also unearthed - including human teeth and pieces of burnt wood - and radiocarbon dated at roughly 1,800-2,000 years old. According to the Miami Herald, the Miami Circle is perhaps the only evidence of a prehistoric structure in bedrock on the East Coast. Based on the results of the radiocarbon dating, along with the similarities in tools, it's believed that the circle might have been the work of the Tequesta Native American tribe. Some have speculated that the holes were once part of a structure, and most likely a building for ceremonial use. The Tequesta tribe is believed to have settled by the Miami River, occupying coastal terrain along the neighboring Atlantic areas. The tribe was made up of hunters and gatherers, who likely would have used shells and shark teeth for tools - both of which were unearthed during the excavation of the site. With the Miami Circle likely dating back over 1,000 years, it's remarkable that around 85% of its structure is still perfectly preserved. Today, visitors to Miami can head to the site and see the ring of limestone for themselves - although the holes are now covered with soil and grass for protection.

NPS = 7 Relatively…read morenice soccer field in Wynwood. And I mean relatively because when you really analyze Wynwood, you have to do it from a hipster view of things. A group of friends and I have been playing at this field on Thursdays, and sometimes I feel we play at this field more from convenience to all the friends that live in the area than for the field itself. Do not get me wrong, the guy that runs this shop is AWESOME. But the fields themselves...could use some work. The fields are VERY warped and not even. Even when it rains, there are "turf potholes" where water accumulates. The outdoor fields are also not as large as one would hope...but whatever, they get the job done. I have DEFINITELY been to better soccer fields and more well-kept fields. Additionally, Wynwood Soccer does NOT allow cleats. But...they rarely check. Just please, out of respect for others: do NOT wear cleats. Protect the field a little bit. The indoor side of things are not as bad. It is cool they have an indoor field and I heard kids can even have a birthday party there. The place also sells beer and Gatorade. If you ask nicely, I am sure they can play music to your liking in the exterior while you play. All in all, given that it is Wynwood, this is an "okay" field. It is about $100 an hour so if you play a 5v5, it comes out to...well, you can do the math. Catch me here on Thursday nights because...well, frankly I don't have a choice. Lol
