Dante Fascell Park

Was a great park until they cut down the trees. Guess Big Ron is someone’s brother who needed a contract. Who knows, maybe they’ll put a McDonald’s here.

I love this park! Its a mile away from my apartment so I go running (more like fast walking) to it. It has tennis courts and a big playground for the little ones. There is also an area for parties. I haven’t found dog poop yet so it is great and no homeless people. On the weekdays there are a lot of nannies with the children, but I blend in just fine. Lots of trees and if you cut through the park to 57^th Ave. there is a walking/​bike trail all the way down to Pinecrest and into Old Cutler. Very nice! New running path made of rubber. Wear repellent after rainy days or get bitten like crazy.

Bien arborizado, cuenta con una pista de trotar o caminar alrededor del parque, pequeña area de juegos infantiles que cuenta con una escultura/​figura que me hizo recordar la famosa figura «Modulor» del arquitecto Le Corbusier, pero en esta los ninos pueden subir y jugar. Cuenta con canchas de tennis y un parqueadero no muy amplio. Pienso que podria tener mas kioskos y otras instalaciones deportivas.
Well arborized, has a track for jogging or walking around the park, has a small playground area that features a sculpture /​figure that reminded me and looks like the world-​famous Modulor figure created by the architect Le Corbusier in which children can climb and play. It has tennis courts and a not very large parking lot. The park could have more kiosks and other sports facilities.

Lots of shade.
Great playground for kids.
Swings.

This park is great if you enjoy things like tennis or maybe lacrosse holy f*** even basketball and baseball this park has everything !! What’s that? No sorry not if your me, not if your lil ol’lancey this park for starters has a statue of a giant (still modest) but NAKED lady, which may have been the first entire women I have felt up however it serves as a beacon for holes of fun to be poked and slander, this statue commented the bravest of the brave as a being only 4 feet of length tall and not even 2 of those big across can attempts to climb to this naked crab walk lady (which as of now I dub thee) on the boob, the upper knee (yes there’s two) and for the heartiest of adventurees the head ! In which you have to straddle or #plank to get on there becareful of taking a fall young heros. I also don’t like this park cuz it’s too far away, I mean how many calories to burn just to get there? Also if I’m in my kayak, the ledge to get back up to the park is almost as tall as the naked lady on crabwLk & that’s how I know there’s something is wrong with this place

If you’re looking for an alternative to Tropical Park or other parks that are jam packed on holiday, check this place out. It’s small but with a playground, pavilion, BBQ pits tennis and volleyball courts, you have everything you need.
Parking lot is small so you might need to park on the street.

I used to play here as a kid, climbed up that big woman’s statue as the pics here show so well.
This was one of my favorite parks to play in, and I’ve taken my daughter back now as well. It’s in a good neighborhood which is nice (although there was a bunch of broken glass in the parking lot).
Once inside the park however, its a great place to let the kids run around. There’s a substantial wooden fence which blocks off the park from 57 Ave so the kids can’t run away. There’s a large grass area with a track working around the park as well, with fitness stops, so you’ll see adults running through as well as the little ones.
You can also see some good ol’ geology too, as coral rocks are poking up through the grass in various parts. So much of Miami is converted swamp land, so you don’t see as much of the natural features which covers the eastern parts of Miami where the land is naturally high enough to have a history too it. Since the park is in an older section of Miami, you also have some good sized trees here as well. My little girl enjoyed the slides and play area, which looks to have been added in the last 5 years (that’s my best guess).
For tennis players, there’s also a series of tennis courts in the park, so there’s something for everyone. I plan on coming back, and perhaps future generations will too.

We wanted to go to a shaded park so my wife suggested this one, it is a large park with good playground, our son loved the wheel car, also there are A LOT of ducks that are always interesting to the young ones, there are also tennis courts, definitely a place to go if you live or passing nearby, not a destination you would drive because its and average park.

A.K.A «The Naked Lady Park»
I didn’t know that this park had another name besides «The Naked Lady Park» until I was into high school.
It has a huge (12 feet tall or so) climbable sculpture of a sitting/​reclining woman (you can tell by the boobies) and to us kids, she was naked. Hence, the name.
And it’s not like my family is the only one calling this park by that name. I’ve had this conversation with many people… They might as well change the sign to identify the park by both names.
Anyways, it’s a neat park. Extremely shaded, which keeps all the play stuff cool. It borders a canal, so watch the littlins’. It also means there are ducks to harass and be harassed by. They have tennis courts to rent (something like $ 3, first come basis) and they have pavilions too.
If you live with a 5 or 10 miles, I suggest biking there with the family. The bike paths along Red Road are pretty wide and well maintained.
