What a great park to rent bikes! We rode all around for several miles. We couldnt have picked a better wknd to come to SF. The weather was so beautiful. Definitely worth every penny! Cant wait to come to SF again and rent bikes and ride around :)

Amazing nature park. So peaceful and relaxing not busy ever. The park is all shade. They close early so u want to get there before 4pm. They have restrooms and staff always on site. There’s two entrances at this park. One ️ off the road and another in front of nature center.

Mini central park in the heart of Brickell. Picnic tables are located next to a fish pond. Gorgeous little hideaway in a lunch break

Cool Park in Brickell area. An Old Growth mini Forest. What Miami are used to be before it became a Big City. Its a nice escape walking the trails.

Beautiful park, nice history that I did not know about Miami, and the most important the trees, smell nice like been in a jungle. I love it. I took my seniors class for a field trip, and they love it, specially the employees they are very friendly and knowledgeable.

My first visit here. Very beautiful serene place in the heart of Brickell. Staff in the visitor centre were very warm and helpful. The festive forest trail was very well done. My son enjoyed finding the snowmen, gnomed, deer, etc. Will definitely keep coming back

Small, quiet spot, hidden gem with lots of benches. More of a nature preserve than a park

Park remains closed even though Miami dade county opened parks to the public two weeks ago. The website says it’s open. They need to update it. Such a shame I Was really looking forward to it.

Serene park hidden in the corner of South Miami Avenue and 15th Rd (Str) in Brickell (Miami FL.) Nice trail along a native tree hammock with a mild canopy. There is also a cute artificial lake hosting a variety of Koi fish and small turtles. The reception area sits in what appears a former house - very quaint with a variety of plants and comfortable sitting areas in and out the building. Visitors can find a variety of educational pamphlets and activities. A definite stop for nature-loving tourits and locals.

Small hidden treasure. Our kids can spend hours here exploring. Ask the office attendant for some fish food to feed the koi and turtles in the pond located in the North corner. They have picnic tables and benches by the pond. Its such a great escape.

Cool little trail. Many colorful koi fish. A pair of turtles that seemed to need the moss taken off their shells. Free parking right in front, limited spaces, not busy though.

Review №28

A great place. One of the two last remnants of the former Brickel hammock, it shows the nature how it used to be. A nice place to relax, especially on Sunday when you do not hear the traffic from I-95. Nice old reception area. They are introducing some good educational events. Some areas a bit overrun by invasive exotics, but the park tries with their limited budget to keep them under control.

Beautiful place to get away from the city life for a bit. Sweet trees and quiet setting. Theyve done a good job cleaning it after hurricane Irma. Saw a cooper hawk there a few weeks ago and I also heard theres a fox. Havent been lucky enough to see it but it apparently isnt seen too often. So cool.

Nice and quiet. Theres a small pond with some fishes on it. You can go and relax a little bit or maybe read a good book. Also there is a visitors center with more information about the park and wild life that you can find.

Really enjoy hiking here, Definately like the hike to the griffith observatory. When we arrive to the observatory we like to watch a show inside the planetarium. My favorite is called the universe and its galaxies! Anyway, great views of Miami from above!

Hurrican had its toll on the park. But its still a nice slice of nature that we need more of. With some volunteer work it could be back to its prime again.

Suggestions: Take the guided tour. Have a picnic by the pond. Read a book. PS: I just found out that dogs are not allowed.

Mosquitoes love my blood type, negative O. I usally get bit the most. I have a scar from a spider bite 30 yrs ago. I love nature! I was a Lil afraid; but, Im educated. Im not afraid to enter a beautiful sanctuary. Im their stranger. Mosquito repellent & love of nature, if not, dont go! I will visit more often. Cynthia R.

Review №54

A good park, a good preservation of natural hammock. Not quite large enough, especially considering its age. The deck of the more visible northeast gate is damaged, so this entrance has been closed for some time as of early 2015. If this was fixed patronage would probably double. Its about all you could expect in urban Dade county, especially in a volatile area that could easily be up zoned...

A mini escape to a wooded area in Brickell is not your everyday thing. It is quaint, but offers plenty of wildlife to enjoy. Super nice park!

Short and sweet...mostly. The park is very pretty, reminiscent of the original natural form of the area. Watch out for the spiders. Massive spiders with 4 foot in diameter webs. Tall people beware!

I saw a raccoon digging termites out of old wood in the middle of the day, very cool!! Also beware of the spiders!! Bring or pick up a stick to cut holes through all the webs so you dont get stuck with spiders on you!!
