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.

Cooper Park is a nice little community park in the heart of a bustling West Miami area…read more With a large green space, walking path, playground, and canopy of trees, Cooper Park brings a little calm and peace to a busy area. It is a great place to relax, enjoy the weather, play with the dog, let the kids climb and slide, have a picnic, or toss the frisbee. Being a block off of Red Road, you'd think there would be heavy traffic or loud truck noise all day long, but with the addition of the Publix between the park and 57th, it has a much more closed off, protected, and intimate feel to it. There is ample parking, and a few places for the kids to play and explore the freedom of running in a large green space. With benches and trees, there is more than enough of an area for adults to rest, soak up the sun, or enjoy an afternoon of peaceful nature while being steps from the reality of a major city. If you are looking for a little escape from the grind, slip your shoes off, slap your shades on, and let your toes feel the soft grass on your feet while you reconnect with the gentle beauty of peaceful relaxation at Cooper Park.

The park is on a large field that sits adjacent to the William Lehman Elementary School. It turns out everything in the nature based playground is brand new. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on May 31st of this year. The city spent $500,000 from the Quality Neighborhood Improvement Program and impact fees to redesigned the playground with the goal of getting children to spend more time outside and to encourage them to appreciate nature through play. The 4,510-square-foot play area contains inclusive playground equipment and Australian pine logs were added to provide seating. Playground equipment includes climbing nets, a double tower, spring riders, swings, a play and learn panel, and musical instruments to play. New landscaping including five oak trees, sod, and native pollinator plants along with concrete curbing, walkways, benches, and bike racks were added to enhance the area. The result of all of the improvements is a inviting play area for the community children. Improvements at Sabal Chase are part of the Miami-Dade County Parks and Open Space Master Plan which is a vision to create a sustainable system of parks, recreation and open spaces for the citizens of Miami.

A beautiful park in Doral!…read more I've known Doral to have so many family friendly parks that are utilized and so happy that my friend showed me Doral Glades Park. I can see why it's coined as the "Glades" because the main part of it is a lake/glades area that has a walkway around the perimeter. It's beautiful and serene and was a great pathway for our morning walk/jog. This park also has playgrounds, one volleyball sand court, one basketball court (with two hoops), and six pickleball courts! Such a great spot for all kinds of activity and very clean and new. They also have some pavillions in case you're looking for a spot for your next party or event. Excited to come back sometime and check out their pickleball courts/community!
