Many parks in Miami were created out of reclaimed land which is one of the most cost effective ways…read moreto create new parks. Prime land is turned into developments while dirty land that was a trash dump or an incinerator site years ago gets cleaned up and repurposed as a park as is the case with Westwind Lakes Park. When Westwind Lakes Park was built the county discovered methane leaking from the ground caused by buried organic waste. A venting system was installed to make the land safe for a park. Today Westwinds Lake Park is a popular recreational destination for families with children. The park features a splash pad and large covered playground for outdoor fun. The park also has a skate park with two six foot quarter pipes, rails, launch and bank ramps, a wall ride, stairs and different sized hubbas, a ledge that angles down a set of stairs. A memorial to Columbia is also in Westwinds Lake Park. Kendall sometimes called Little Colombia, has a strong Colombian influence in its population, restaurants, and culture. The memorial highlights Kendall's deep-rooted connection to their Colombian heritage. Other park amenities include picnic pavilions with tables, outdoor fitness equipment, a paved walking course, sand volleyball court, and a recreation center that offers an afterschool program, school break camps for kids, active older adult, and fitness programs. Whether you're looking for a picnic, workout, or a family-friendly outing, this park provides something for everyone. The well-maintained facilities make Westwind Lakes Park a welcome destination for locals and visitors alike.

For non-PoGo players, the park offers great natural scenery, nature trails, pavilions, a fitness zone, a playground for children, a little library, softball fields, a skate park, and two full disc golf courses. Seriously, it has everything. Only complaint is the walking paths could be paved a bit better.

Kendall Indian Hammocks (KIH) is an AMAZING place for Pokémon GO! The park has a very active…read morePokémon GO community part of the official Pokemon Go Community Ambassador Program called KIH Crew, with a Discord community where players can connect, meet other Trainers, and stay updated on Pokémon GO events and meetups happening at the park. They regularly organize community events for things like Raid Days, Community Days, GO Fest, and other in-game events. If you play Pokémon GO and live around Miami, I definitely recommend checking out the park and looking up KIH Crew. Even if you don't play Pokémon GO, Kendall Indian Hammocks is a great park with tons of things to do and a really nice community atmosphere. it has walking and nature trails, sports fields, playgrounds, picnic areas, disc golf, an outdoor fitness zone, a skate park, and plenty of open space to enjoy with family and friends. 100% recommend it

In terms of parks in Miami, this is probably one of the nicer parks and not as well known. It's essentially hidden from US 1 and as a result, rarely gets very packed. Highlights include: 1. Separate playground areas for age groups. Toddler play area consists of several obstacles, slides and swings. The larger kids area has a wide range of playsets including swings, slides, rocks to climb, and a large spinning climbing "tree". There's also plenty of benches and a covered seating area that offers shade. 2. Nice sized skatepark which has recently been painted. 3. Nice sized indoor shelter to host birthday parties. You need to call and book in advance. 4. Fields are nicely run and often hosts softball and baseball games. All in all, one of the nicer parks in Miami. A great place to visit with the kids. They also frequently host county and local activities and events as well.

Since we were in Miami during my prev. birthday trip, it was one of my birthday presents. Tickets ($20 per person) were available for purchase via Miami Roller Rink's website. Our Admission Tickets were shown at the door as we went through the front entrance. On this day, we visited Miami Roller Rink to attend "We Love The 90's" Skate Party. Skating during that several-hour session, the dj played fantastic 90's music. All 90's Everything....90's Hip-Hop, Reggae, Soca, Pop, R & B - you name it, & that dj played it. Skating to 90's "Oldies But Goodies" while singing was a good way to spend out on a Saturday Night. There are lockers for your belongings. There are snacks, food for purchase. Clean Bathrooms. There are also some Arcade Games. Seating space is on the sidelines for those that want to sit, to hang out w/ out skating, or to rest in-between skating.

It was a great first impression for sure !

Ok, this is an open outdoor skateboard park under I-95 in downtown Miami…read more Now it's not a vending business where you pay an entrance fee with services provided. It is merely an open park, open to the public skating community. It has some nice ramps and a very nice bowl; and wide open skating lanes for practicing whatever. As a parent, I've brought my child here multiple times. It always has skaters of all ages and experience levels. What's cool is that the skating subculture is pretty accepting of any and all willing to get on a board. There are 6 year kids skating like they have skated for decades; there are teens who are complete beginners; and their are adults of various ages that have skated for years, and now have their own kids skating. It's pretty family oriented with benches throughout and parents observing. There is good lighting for the evening hours; and by and large most of the skaters behave pretty well and are respectful and even friendly with each other. Negatives: Unfortunately, it only has portable restrooms. A permanent restroom structure would probably be better. You will smell some occasional weed, particularly in the parking lot across the street; but it's not something that most of the skaters seem to use or push openly. I have never seen any signs of open drug sales or wide usage. Certainly no drug related misbehavior. There is a small frozen lemonade stand here. A lunch truck or something similar could probably do well here.
