I love tropical park…read more I've been coming to this park for like 30 years . Not sure if you are a fan of running you can use causeway and bridges for hill and speed work. There's something nostalgic about running up what used to feel like a mountain, but in actuality is a hill. This park has a bit of everything for folks who want to get in a jog in a safe and close place to birthday parties, events, family outings, even spend a little bit of time on the water There are basketball and tennis courts and a great equestrian center . The other side of this park used to be a winter time Christmas celebration. The park itself has a plethora of random parking spots , but my favorite thing has to be being outdoors in a safe place Please, no as with virtually all other places, I am not wanting to hang around after dark . Additionally, though there is a regulation 400 m track on the bird road side of the park that opens early, I am not one to arrive somewhere before the sun comes up. That being said the hours of operation are convenient for folks who are visiting and want to just relax or for those that are training for something physical and getting healthy and prefer being outdoors instead of inside a gym with recirculated air Tip: the distance from SW. 56th St. to SW. 40th St. is exactly 1 mile. If you run along the west side of the park, you can literally run safely without heavily tracking distance and instead focus on the run and how you feel I highly encourage anyone who hasn't been to this park to visit it and touch grass every now and then . I love it and I will continue doing so anytime. I'm in town.

The City of West Miami Recreation Center, also know as The Rec, is the jewel of the City of West…read moreMiami. It is a fenced park that includes a baseball field (kid size), two full basketball courts, a tennis court and a racquetball court, a tiny gym, and two ballrooms. If you had the pleasure to have The Rec as your voting site, then you know what I am talking about. I used to play basketball regularly on the basketball courts, but a knee injury limits my time on the sport. Nevertheless, the park is pretty quiet, and it's a comfortable place to play sports. I like not finding beer bottles or glass laying around, like at some other parks. Also, The Rec is only open to the residents of West Miami, so no crackheads are allowed. Of the other amenities available, the ballrooms are worth to mention. They are available for rent, one of them comes with a small kitchen, and they have been recently built. The rest of the amenities are also available, although you may have to check with the office for available times, since they are used for private lessons. If you live in the City of West Miami, then you must have stopped by The Rec at some point in time. If you are not a resident, then you can access the facilities with a resident of the city. Whichever way you choose to enter The Rec, you are guaranteed to have a great time.

People seem to really use this recreational center often creating a great neighborhood area to be…read moreactive and be a part of the community. The basketball courts are very well lit and impeccably maintained. They do have a small area that's available to rent for private parties but since the supply is limited it is strongly suggested to reserve ahead of time. This venter is one of the best parts of West Miami and you'll find that it's quite enjoyable and not as congested as other community centers. It's a great spot to do laps around or even teach your kid how to ride bike without training wheels. It's got a little bit for everyone and it's centrally located so accessibility isn't an issue. I can't emphasize enough on how pleasant it is to have such a clean neighborhood park that the community can use happily.

Very unorganized and a waste of money. First class was a disaster with extra kids that were not…read moreeven enrolled allowed to stay for the entire class. Subsequent classes weren't any better. Ten 2 year old kids with one coach is way too many kids per teacher. We were assured there would be 2 coaches but that was a lie, it was always 1 coach. Trying to round up the kids took up the majority of the 30 minute class. Handing out stickers took up another 10 minutes of the class. My son touched the ball an average of 3 times per class and I was paying $16 a class for that. Most of the time he was standing around bored waiting for other kids to take a turn. The coach also obviously didn't have experience with this age group as he would consistently ask the kids things that weren't age appropriate. A 2 year old can't name all the different colors and understand what you want them to do based on a color cone. When he went into a whole explanation and definition about dribbling I had to laugh when I saw the deer in headlights faces of the 2 years old in the class. Killian complex is a dumpy facility too. If you are looking for classes where your kid will actually play and learn soccer basics, this is not the place for you.

I'm entering my 3rd cycle with Steadfast Running, presently coaching is through Team Footworks…read moreAdvanced Training Program, and it's been quite a year of accomplishments running-wise. In my first two cycles alone met my goals of establishing a sub 5 minute mile and then running a sub 17 minute 5k. I'm less than 30 seconds from a personal record that is 30 years old. Of course I've never trained as much in my life. My goal in cycle 3 is to reach my PR in the 5k. Surprisingly the secret is increasing volume and running much slower than I was used to at least for the base phase. Run slow to get fast. Coach Mederos is methodical and helps runners who are able to run comfortably at their goal race reach their full potential. The group meets early however. I've been doing all my training between the hours of 4-6am, which is just fine by me. It takes a little bit of adjusting to this type of schedule but once you are hooked it's a good group to converse with. If you are self directed however, but need a schedule of runs as well as good advice this is definitely the coach for you.
