  • John U. Lloyd State Park

    -I know this park isn’t in Miami but it is worth the drive. The ocean water is clear as glass and there is plenty of beach for everyone to relax and spread out. There are also picnic tables with BBQ’s and showers, restrooms and dressing rooms close by. After the park you have to stop at Jaxson’s Ice Cream Parlor & Restaurant.

  • Evelyn Greer Park

    -Evelyn Greer Park has the best of both worlds, fresh-air and  Wi-Fi Internet access! Bring your laptop and let the kids play at the playground. My 11 year old niece is staying with us for the summer and she loves to play online games, so I took them to Evelyn Greer park and she could use the laptop and my daughter could run around the playground. In 2005 the park was named one of the best parks in South Florida by Parenting Magazine.

  • Olympic Park

    -This park has recently had a Miami-Dade library added to it and the building is amazing. With it’s modern lines and colors and the beautiful stone work on the side wall it’s really more than just a library but a piece of modern architecture. The park area has a walking path, playground and basketball courts. I guarantee you won’t miss it because it’s located right on Kendall Drive and 152nd Ave.
