From here we plan to walk to a Colombian bakery as a treat for a day well played!

The pool is lovely and well-maintained. You can swim laps, paddle around, or take swimming lessons at different times of the day. I tried to use the pool a couple of times during the day but wasn't able to because it was either mysteriously closed or had no public access - swim lessons were being given. The changing rooms are a bit... Spartan and rustic - nothing but a few benches in a concrete box. Do not go by the hours listed online. You have to physically go to the pool and look at the noticed posted at the pool entrance. (see photo) The price online is also wrong. The fact that it is late June and the Recreation Center sill has a lit Christmas tree in the lobby lets you know that oversight and management is nearly non-existent. If they don't have the leadership to pack a Christmas tree in a box, then certainly don't expect the website to show current information.

I was worried they wouldn't take credit cards since it's such a low fee, but they do. The pool didn't feel like a typical 25 yard length, so I asked the lifeguard and he says it's a 33 meter pool. Bear in mind as you plan your workout. Pool has five or six lanes and is flanked by bleachers and some very basic changing room/shower facilities. Lap swim hours (pictured) are pretty extensive Monday through Friday. Less so Saturday and Sunday but still workable. I came in the middle of a work day and had a lane to myself.

Instead the city purchased the land for a park to honor their commitment to provide a park within walking distance for every resident of Sunny Isles Beach. Heritage Park was conceived as being a landmark entrance to the city. The park was dedicated on June 18, 2011 to coincide with the city's 14th anniversary. Parking is available in the garage across the street. Public meetings were held to get community input into the design if the park. The result is an engaging park full of amenities for everyone to enjoy. Heritage Park has two playgrounds with Evos and Weevos play structures designed to let children flex their mental and physical muscles for creative play and upper body and core strength. a water play area, Veterans Memorial, performance stage used for the signature event Sunny Isles Beach Jazz Fest every October, dog area, great lawn, picnic tables, benches, and restrooms. This park is a stop on the community service shuttle bus.

It's been a while since I've ice skated but it wasn't hard to pick up again…read more For Miami Beach residents, it's only $5.00 for 2 hours on a Sunday afternoon between 3-5pm. if you're able to use hockey skates, they have those too which is what I prefer. They have other public skate days so check out their schedule to learn what they are. Bring gloves as it can be a bit on the chilly side, and you definitely don't want to freeze your butt off for those 2 hours. Plus if you happen to slip and fall, your hands will stay warm. Also, come with a jacket and maybe a couple layers; no one has fun while shivering. When I arrived at 4pm, there was only an hour left to skate and the condition of the ice was already hacked. I think they should resurface the ice between the 2 hours as it would make the experience much more enjoyable; it wouldn't take more than 10 mins or so...at least the outer edge where most people skate around and not the center area. Sure it's much slicker, but the way the ice was...you would be tripping over holes that would catch your skates out of no where. Most of the skaters were from young children 3 years told to men in their 50s or so who can really skate. Kinda how I-95 is with so many different drivers with so many different skills; it could be a formula for a head on.

This is a new three acre community park in Miami Beach between 600-700 Alton Road. It was developed…read moreby TCH 500 Alton, LLC, real estate developers David Martin and Russell Galbut who built the nearby Five Park residential tower. The park was donated to the City of Miami Beach's Parks & Recreation Department as a gift to the residents and visitors of Miami Beach. Canopy Park was designed by ArquitectonicaGEO with sustainability at the forefront. Environmentally conscious features including a Maritime Hammock anchoring the north end of the park which captures carbon and toxins from the air, diminishes the urban heat island effect, and cools the surrounding area. A 25,000-gallon cistern collects rainwater runoff and conserves and manage rainwater while bioswales allow for proper site filtration and management for all of the rainwater that enters the site. There are 40 different plant and tree species that are low maintenance and drought tolerant. The plants not only add beauty to the bark but they also help balance ecosystems, mitigate soil erosion, decrease urban heating effects, provide habitats for threatened animals, and protect watersheds from destructive floods. The park has so many stand out features but one of my favorite was the playground by Danish design firm MONSTRUM which is famous for their playscapes around the world. This is one is special because it pays homage to the OG Miami Beach developer, Carl Fisher. Fisher acquired a baby elephant he named Rosie that he used as a mascot for the area in publicity photos that promoted Miami Beach as a luxury vacation destination in the 1920's. Now Rosie has been recreated in the playground so children can climb up her and slide down. Other unique features of the park include a sculpture by Miami-based artist Mark Handforth, green spaces with native shade trees, paved pathways, seating, an outdoor gym, and a dog run area. In addition to being a place of recreation, Canopy Park serves to connect Miami Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood to the Miami Beach Baywalk via a new signature pedestrian bridge designed by Daniel Buren spanning the MacArthur Causeway/5th Street. This will create a connection to South Pointe Park north to the Lincoln Road District and east to the beachfront. Canopy Park is at the gateway to the City of Miami Beach and is a great ambassador to the city. According to Russell Galbut of TCH 500 Alton, LLC. "We've created a vibrant community asset that brings people together while providing a design experience that rivals public spaces in the world's greatest cities." While I love the park the lack of parking is a real detriment to being able to use it. I have passed it so many times without ever being able to find a place to park. It took coming on a weekend day in a rainstorm to final get a street spot and even then I had to cross busy Alton Road which didn't feel safe. I love Miami Beach but unfortunately Miami Beach's parking doesn't love me back.

Ahoy Matey! Did you know there is a pirate themed playground in Altos Del Mar Park in Miami Beach?…read moreGather up the crew and anchors away for the most almost free fun a fledgling pirate can have. You still have to pay for parking. I recommend the parking lot next door. The Pirate Park Playground was built by Superior Playgrounds who was tasked with designing a one-of-a-kind pirate theme play space to spark creative play and provide a safe place for budding buccaneers to play. The playground is made of recycled material like milk jugs and was created to be corrosion resistant so that it would always look good in this salt water coastal ecosystem. Located only 100 feet from the beach, the playground is fenced in for safety. There is a large pirate ship for older children to climb on and slide down and a smaller area for younger privateers. The crows nest with rigging looked especially fun to climb. Other playground play structures include clownfish and blue tang fish spring riders, a custom octopus playhouse, and palm tree shade. There are four triangle sail shades and poured-in-place safety surfacing to protect little knees and bottoms. Bathrooms are nearby. During my visit the playground was filled with kids and their families enjoying the nautical theme. This unique play space fosters imagination and physical movement for the youngest North Beach residents and visitors.
