Learnt how the whole forest has an underground network of fungus. Might sound gross but it is fascinating! There are also this sink hole looking things called solutions that are super interesting to see and learn more about. The hammock is beautiful and you truly feel like you escaped Miami overall. The volunteers did some epic work on the butterfly garden. The bathrooms are clear and there are picnic tables all around. The nature center itself has a nice little exhibit to educate on birds, butterflies, snakes and the like. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and host several events throughout the month to educate and engage with the community. Archery lessons, evening walks, historic c bike rides and others. Looking forward to coming back!!

However, it's a tricky trail. It's not easy to walk because it's pure nature. There is a trail that goes all the way to the end and from there it's a matter of walking all the way back. It's not a circle like other places. Take comfortable shoes with you, and be ready to walk slow, specially in areas full of rocks and moss. Also, there are insects around, and some mosquitoes in a part of the way. Nothing out of this world but if that's a dealbreaker take it into account. // Hermoso, y sorprendente lugar para visitar en una mañana o tarde tranquila, ideal para un paseo lento entre la naturaleza, para apreciar su belleza, y una sutil sinfonía de sonidos entre los árboles, pájaros, ardillas... Sin embargo, es un camino moderadamente complicado. Es pura naturaleza. Hay un sendero que llega hasta el final y desde allí es cuestión de caminar todo el camino de regreso. No es un círculo como otros lugares. Lleva contigo calzado cómodo y prepárate para caminar despacio, especialmente en zonas llenas de rocas y musgo. Además, hay insectos alrededor, y algunos mosquitos en una parte del camino. Nada fuera de este mundo, pero si eso es un factor decisivo, téngalo en cuenta.

Stillwater Park is one of several triangle shaped neighborhood parks in Miami Beach near the…read morewaterways off of Biscayne Bay. Miami Beach is built up with a lot of businesses and residential housing. Green spaces are lacking in this area so Stillwater park along with Crespi, and Tatum parks provide much needed recreational resources to the neighborhoods they are in. Stillwater Park is located at the entrance of gated Stillwater Dr. in the Biscayne Beach neighborhood. Stillwater Drive is a single street that is its own neighborhood. Jutting into Biscayne Bay, it is a rectangular peninsula that can be accessed via two streets, 86th Street on the north side and Hawthorne Avenue on the south. This area was once a patch of mangroves that were filled in and developed during the late 1930s by the Biscayne Point Realty Company. Stillwater like much of North Beach exploded after World War II with a boom in population and in housing. A key feature of the park is a playground designed for children ages 5 - 12 with spring riders, a climbing board, zip line, seesaw, toddler and youth swings. Other park amenities include stationary fitness equipment, a lighted basketball court, grassy field for open play, and benches. In 2008 a Miami Beach Police Department Canine Training Facility was added to the park. At the east end of the park stands a covered pavilion which is equipped with water fountains and restrooms. The pavilion can be rented for private events. This park is fenced in for safety. You can find limited parking around the perimeter but it is mainly used by local residents who walk over. Like all of the parks in Miami Beach, Stillwater Park is very clean and well maintained.

This is a park located in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Miami. The park is on Wagner Creek…read morewhere the Miami River meets the Seybold Canal. Spring Garden is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods in Miami. It was settled in the 1840's by William English who built a coontie starch mill. Coontie was used like flour in the Seminole diet. They passed it on the settlers and it became known as Florida's arrowroot. The land Spring Garden Point Park sits on used to be a tourist attraction called Alligator Joe's. In the early 1900's. Warren Frazee also known as Alligator Joe staged an alligator wrestling show for tourists visiting Miami. During the summer he would take alligators and other Florida mammals on tours to northern states. While displaying animals at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exhibition he contracted double pneumonia passing away shortly after at the age of 46. Adjacent to the park is another historic piece of land, the former estate of John Seybold, a German immigrant who came to Miami in 1896. He became a successful baker and bought the property where Alligator Joe's once sat on the Miami River. He developed the neighborhood of Spring Garden named after a spring on the southeast corner of NW 11th Street and NW 8th Street and a garden of oak trees and palms. The Seybold family lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years. Spring Garden experienced significant growth from 1910 to the 1940's. Spring Garden Pointe was created in 1999 when the Spring Garden neighborhood partnered with the Trust for Public Land. This is a passive park where people from the neighborhood like to walk their dogs. There are trees, a paved path, and a couple of benches including an interesting stone one. I enjoyed reading the historic signs and watching the boats as they sailed down the Miami River. This park is on the Miami River Greenway, a 6.2 mile trail that begins at Bayfront Park and ends at NW 24th Ave. The trail links neighborhoods, businesses, cultural attractions, historic sites, and 9 public parks along both banks of the historic Miami River.

But never the less it has its own charm - it is a small triangular park tucked away in a nice pocket in this area, right on the water. It offer a sweet, old school style atmospheric/ Coral Gables style bench as you enter which unfortunately, (or fortunately depending how you feel about it ) a bin for doggie waste. This bin was over flowing with doggy bags - which in essence is wonderful to see as it means the pooches owners clean up (they were all a lilac colour btw!). However, the stench was b a d, therefore NOONE would ever sit on that bench. I met a lovely couple who owned their own designed property quite close, who kindly told me some history about the place. It IS being spruced up, a new river wall is being built and they are discussing what to do, even talking about a kayak launch. To be honest you could kayak from there already and local people in the know apparently do, but it is essentially NOT on the map YET for this. If the grounds were in a better condition ie no evidence of rubbish, over flowing smelly bins I would give 5 stars... Still if you want a slice of quiet, to watch the ebb and flow of boats slip by you amongst the Miami River, I will see you there!!!!

In 2021 a new playground was added to the park. The playground was built in direct cooperation with the manufacturer and the community so they could save money by not having to hire an architect. The park was designed with community input and includes swings and slides, colorful jungle gyms, a mini rock climbing wall, and a water misting station to cool down. For bigger kids, there is a pavilion and tennis and basketball courts. There is also a covered pavilion, walking path,, and picnic tables. The biggest drawback to this park is lack of parking. The park was filled with people when I visited but with not enough parking it seems like the city wants it only to be used by neighborhood residents. The city did a great job on Jaycee Park and it seems a shame that people who would have to drive over can't use it.
