Suniland Park
– Yet another one of Pinecrest’s beautiful parks! Suniland Park was completely renovated in 2003 and it shows. There is a beautiful coral gazebo which has tables and offers wireless internet access. The covered playground is surrounded by many large trees which also offer shade. I would have to say this is on my list of favorite parks.

Pinecrest Gardens
-Pinecrest Gardens has many elements of fun: water, playground and animals! The petting zoo is something you definitely want to take the kids to. I love this Splash n’ play because it allows the little kids who can’t swim yet to enjoy the water in a safe environment.

Prince Field
-The small town of Miami Springs happens to be my hometown growing up and I have many memories of playing at Prince Field’s playground. The playground is constructed of all wood and is built like a castle. Your kids will have hours of fun playing hide and seek in this playground. There is a separate section for younger children which ensures they won’t get knocked down by the big kids playing hide and seek.

Tropical Park
-Tropical Park is perfect for those of us who don’t have trucks or SUV’s to bring our bikes. They rent all kinds from low rider bikes to 4 person bikes! With the new addition of the dog park you can bring your whole family and enjoy a nice day outside. The bike rentals are only on Saturday and Sunday from 11:30am to 6:00pm so make sure you get there early. I suggest using the entrance on Miller Drive (located right by the 874 -Don Shula Expressway).
