You can have food and drinks delivered to you on the beach. There are also Umbrella and Chair rentals and they do all the set up and tear down for you. I would go again.

So I only saw one side of the park, which means that I will need to drive over there again to see the rest of it on the other side. The west side has the Bill Bird Marina with hundreds of boats docked there. From the posted signs, it looks like you need to become a member in order to use the Marina and its huge parking lot. I do not own a boat so this did not apply to me. I saw a gentleman flying his kite as it was a windy but hot day. There was plenty of grassy area for kite lovers to show off their colorful and creative kites. There is also a beach area further to the north for families. I didn't see any vendors so bring a picnic basket. You can see the inlet with boats passing by. I also saw about 75 birds around some left-over rain water in the parking lot by the marina. They were so calm and beautiful. Looked like seabirds and another type of bird. I took a picture of them. Next time I will visit the east side and report back.

It is located right off of a lake and is divided into two areas, one for small dogs (less than 35 pounds) and another for big dogs (35 pounds are more. Each area has benches and picnic tables under an awning. They also have water fountains where you can fill your dogs water bowl. In addition to that, there are little doggie obstacles in both areas like an A-frame ramp, and hurdle bars. The park is clean and well maintained. You must have your dog's tags before you are able to use it legally. It is a very nice park and has places to relax and enjoy the lake in the shade while your pooch plays. Currently, the big dog area is closed and only the small dog area is open. They also do not allow pitbulls or dogs under 4 months old This is definitely one of the better dog parks in the area and is worth a visit.

It felt really nice to be able to have a place for the doggies to play and run again. The water fountain inside the big dogs area finally got fixed. I love this park and am so thankful that it's open back to normal now. My dog loves his furry friends that frequently comes to this park too and I love walking around to get some exercise in while he plays. The park staff members that I've encountered through the pandemic so far have been nice, considerate, and helpful. Lately, this staff member has been opening the doors for us, that's so nice! Thank you Tropical Park and Bark Park employees! My dog and I appreciate you all!

(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.

For the most part, owners are very observant and responsible for their dogs. If a dog is causing a problem, I've always seen the owner remove it from the park. Thank you for that!!

Lots of great amenities, including trash/recycling cans, dog poop bag stations, water fountains, pet wash station, pavilion with picnic table and an outlet, little free library, etc. This park is also HUGE- we love doing laps on the walking path or watching our dog play in the water.
