Not sure what this is but looks pretty cool
Isabella K.

Absolutely love this park! It only reminds me how amazing the city we live in is (not that I would ever forget!). I like to call you the work-out park as you always see different groups of people working out - and if that doesn't motivate you - I do not know what does. There is a walking/running trail around the park. The park itself is split in different parks. There's a dog park, a soccer field and a phenomenal playground. The park itself is really clean (even the bathrooms are) and well-maintained. You'll find beautiful trees and fountains as well. There are plenty of eating opportunities in walking distance and a public library right across. I hope they're gonna maintain this beautiful park as it is!

Dog Park Area

Spent Sunday afternoon at Village Green Park with my dog. Walked around the main park and then let the puppy run around the dog park. Quality Located in the center of Key Biscayne, Village Green Park is a nice, quiet recreational area. Although a portion of the park is under construction, most of the park is still open to the public. It has large sports fields, tons of playground space, jogging and walking paths, and a dog park split into large and small dog areas. It is a nice park for families and dog owners who want to let their little ones run around. Quantity Village Green Park is about two blocks long and one block wide. It is not too large, but it is more than enough to handle the residents of Key Biscayne and a few stragglers from the mainland. Value The park is free to use and street parking around the park is also free. The only cost is the toll to come over to Key Biscayne, which can be avoided if you take a bike instead of a car. Ambiance Village Green Park is a smaller park found at the center of Key Biscayne. Within the small downtown area lies this beautiful green space. On the west end of the park they have a dog park with a set-up for both large and small dogs. This fenced in area has plenty of space for dogs to run around off the leash, including hills, different terrain, and even a water sprayer. Next to this area they are doing some construction, which appears to be setting up for additional facilities. Then they have a wide open green space that could be used for football and soccer fields. And on the east end of the park they have a massive playground area. Swings, slides, climbing walls, and anything else you could imagine. This portion of the park also has a bathroom for visitors. It is a nice, simple, and safe park. Crowd It was a gorgeous day so lots of people were out and about. The playground was filled with screaming children, the fields had lots of kids and adults playing soccer, and a few fitness groups were doing exercise near the paths. The dog park area was relatively quiet with just two or three dogs in each, but the dogs did not seem to mind. Service The park was pristine, even with the construction going on. I'm shocked that the dog park is not more popular as it has to be one of the nicest and cleanest in Miami. Parking Tons of street spots are available along the border of the park. Parking is free and super easy to find, even on the weekend. Extra Village Green Park is a nice park, with an excellent dog park. Even with construction, it is very clean and beautiful. The free parking makes up for the fee to come over the bridge. There are no water views from its location, which is the only downside, considering water is so close in every direction, but it is still a wonderful park to visit.

Dear Village Green Park, Thank you for providing a giant, beautiful, very green park in the middle of the island of Key Biscayne. Lush, green fields for playing soccer, and a playground for kids to make any child squeal with glee. There are tons of trees to provide lavish shade, and benches to sit and take a load off. Often, I meet my good friend for a picnic lunch, where we have the chance to sit, eat, catch up, and relax. The warm breeze and shaded benches make for a great break from the stress of the day. I believe the park also has wifi, as my phone is always picking up a signal when I'm there. Also, I think through the Community Center, one can enroll in different activities and programs at the park, mostly for children. Thank you for your beautiful landscape and for being my peace within the chaos. I owe you a plant or something. ;-) Love & light, SabrinaAnna*

Love this cool little park. I bring my kid here all the time. There's always plenty of kids Of all ages to play with. The playground area is pretty big so there's plenty of space for everyone. Sometimes I meet new parents and see some of the same faces every time I go. Once in a while you'll see a van driver around selling ceviche which is awesome. While my son plays with other kids, I like to bring my blanket and just get some good yoga time in the grass area. Other times I'll bring a book and just read. They also have a dog park with is great for pet owners. Looks nice. Even though it's a playground, when you sit off in the grass area it's kind of quiet. I definitely recommend this park if you want to get some cool playtime in with your child.

Crandon Park is home to various ecosystems, from dunes and mangroves to coastal hammock and seagrass beds and rare plants like the Biscayne prickly ash and beach peanut. Underwater, fossilized reefs and colorful sea life give divers and snorkelers plenty to explore. Crandon Park comprises the northern portion of Key Biscayne (almost 7 miles southeast of Miami). The key began as a coconut plantation, before being donated with the stipulation that Miami-Dade County uses the land as a public park. With its golf and tennis facilities, unique eco-adventures and breathtaking beach, Crandon Park offers something for everyone Parking: Weekdays $7 and Weekends $10

I was here as a child when it was a zoo. I'm happy to see it remains a park with beach access…read more More importantly, the beach often hosts some endangered migratory birds, Piping Plovers. These birds are adorable, but they are threatened by habitat loss. There is a volunteer who regularly checks for Piping Plovers during migration, and she looks for bands that reveal the path of the bird's migratory flight. It's important that we have places for these birds to forage, and I hope the city continues to protect this beach for that use. The bathrooms were a welcome amenity. I had problems paying the parking fee, it was a complicated process. There were about 10 peafowl (peacocks) that roamed the park, a remaining vestige of when this was a zoo. There were many wild birds throughout the park.

Stretching two miles along Biscayne Bay, the beach is known for its calm, shallow water--great for swimming, floating or letting kids play safely near shore. You would think that a beach is a beach, but South Florida beaches vary greatly. Some have buildings, some have big crowds, some are great for families, and some have a very natural setting with no buildings at all. One beach that has smaller crowds is Crandon Park's North Beach. Crandon Park Beach has two sections, North & South Beach. Crandon's two beaches are among the most popular beaches in South Florida and cover two miles along the Atlantic side of Key Biscayne The south and north ends of Key Biscayne each contain a large park. Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park makes up the southern portion of the island and contains the Cape Florida Lighthouse. The lighthouse, built in 1825, is Miami Dade County's oldest structure. The northern part of the island contains a golf course, marina, tennis center, Nature Center, the Bear Cut Preserve, and Crandon Park Beach. Crandon Park Beach is much more a local's beach and much less touristy. The waves are stronger at North Beach, and you'll see kiteboarders flocking to this beach, though you can't bring your own boards.

All told this beach is totally worth checking out, but even if you do things right, it's gonna cost you ;-)

Nixon Beach (Sandbar) is a popular boating destination spot which is situated approximately a…read morequarter mile south west of Key Biscayne. It's a great place to anchor up for the afternoon and enjoy the weather, scenery and the people you happen to be with. At low tide the water is about waist deep and it's clear blue. It can be a little breezy at times which can cause the boat to rock a bit, but if your use to that then you won't have any problems. You can snorkel and paddle board here and the waters are usually very calm. On the weekends if the weather is nice, it will be packed with day trip boaters, so get here early to secure a nice spot. Now the historical footnote. The sandbar is named after Richard Nixon, the thirty seventh President of The United States. I do vaguely remember him as the President, so I'm aging myself here He vacationed frequently in Key Biscayne during the 1960s and had many political benefactors in the Miami area. Back then, Key Biscayne was more or less a sleepy area with one luxury hotel and a lot of small old Florida style single homes. In 1969, shortly after Nixon became President, he purchased three of these homes on Bay Lane, at well below market prices from Florida Senator George Smathers. The houses were in a compound that had a private beach. The Secret Service & US military had to construct a helipad to accommodate Marine One. The cost of the helipad and security upgrades to the residences was estimated at about 400k. Nixon made fifty trips there during the course of his Presidency (no, there wasn't an audio taping system in the place). Now here is the kicker, after resigning in 1974 he sold the properties, which included the helipad, at a huge profit (no, not a crook ) and was accused of benefiting from taxpayers expense. For you movie buffs Scarface was also filmed on Key Biscayne. The residences were torn down in '04 when a local real estate bought them and built a modern mansion. In addition to taking in the beautiful natural views, you can also admire the multi multi million dollar mansions that are now on Key Biscayne. Mr. Nixon probably should have held on to those properties a little bit longer.

This is a major spot for boaters searching for a nearby spot to enjoy shallow waters amongst one of the most populated and lively water spots in miami. You can't swim over here so obviously a boat is required but be prepared for a plentiful bunch of party people. With a loaded cooler and plenty of music, you'll fit in just too. It's not for the faint of heart and unless it's on a weekday, I wouldn't label it kid-friendly on most summer weekends. It's not a far drive so arriving here doesn't take much fuel if you're coming from a nearby marina. Don't forget your sunscreen because it's crucial for those days where there's not a cloud in sight.
