I got to experience Morningside Park recently with my running group. With roughly 40 acres, there is a community center building for voting or town halls as well. There are about 12 parking spots near the entrance. As far as sports, you have opportunities for anything from tennis to swimming, basketball and kayaking. For my run, they have a well defined asphalt trail that took me near the waterfront for an epic sunrise view and through open dog friendly parts of the park. There are a few footbridges over a little stream with mangroves perfect for a cool gothic style pics.

This park is part of a 249 parcel of land that is split into east and west sides of Greynold's…read morePark. 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.

Definitely a great spot to enjoy some nature on a sunny day.

There are two enclosed dog areas but the dogs pretty much have the run of the park and that is more than alright by me. This park is located on Indian Creek in the midst of million dollar homes so these are some pampered pooches who have their poo picked up. If you like to walk the park has some nice paths under shady trees. There is even a place to launch your kayak or paddleboard. The park also has a community garden for people who don't have the room to grown their own fruits and vegetables. Best of all this park has plenty of free parking which is a rarity in parking challenged Miami. Escape the concrete jungle and enjoy nature and some pooches at this charming Miami Beach park.

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.
