AD Barnes has such a lush landscape with so much to do. They have a section for covid testing being done by nomi and they have NO LINE. The park has a nice eco trail with a small water fall, a diverse botanical mix where plants are cohabitating and growing within one another.
They have a fire pit that is available for reservations and a permit from the park and a nice structure to see above the park. We saw many families walking around and it seemed that lots of single dads were with their kids.People were out playing basketball and the park is very central bird road near the palmetto.
Additional to the plant life, the animal life is extremely visible. Tons of bugs, fish, turtles, butterflies, and unfortunately even cats.
Note if you are looking to adopt a cat on the street they have a few there just roaming around.
It was nice to see where the original Ludlam train used to ride by.
Highly recommended for a great day out.
Amazing park in central Miami. This park makes you feel like you are in another place yet it's located in a busy Miami area. It has awesome nature walking trails and bird sightings. Nice place to exercise with their new outdoor gym. Great place to get away. This park has great picnic areas next to beautiful lakes. It also has a playground, community pool, basketball courts, and soccer fields.
A good place for family picnic, and afternoon and morning walk. The park has a walking path around a big lake, and facility to do some exercise. There are couple of nicely maintained areas. Kids can play in the playground. Overall, this a well maintained family-friendly park to spend quality times.
Very quite, not a lot of people and it has a great little park and a lake. It also has a pool. Very nice place to bring the kids.
Beautiful park but not well maintained as unfortunately many parks in Miami.
Not clean, lots pf staff hanging around doing nothing or on the phone.
Pic of the lake full of garbage.
