Palmetto Bay is park paradise! The village of 23,000+ people is booming with great spaces to play, explore & celebrate the great outdoors. Don’t miss these five parks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Coral Reef Park<\/strong> (7895 SW 152 St, 305-235-1593). Pure kid paradise. Not only does Coral Reef Park offer tennis lessons and football leagues, it is filled with grassy fields, softball\/baseball diamonds, football uprights, beach volleyball courts and a huge playground. This is the perfect park for running off energy, learning to ride a bike or hosting a party- many of the picnic areas and pavilions are rentable (see Palmetto Bay website <\/a>for details).<\/li>\n
  2. Palmetto Bay Park<\/strong> (17535 SW 95 Ave, 305-251-2751). The biggest Boundless playground in South Florida! The park is dominated by a softball complex (Howard Palmetto Baseball Softball Association<\/a> runs leagues for kids and most days it is easy to find a game to watch). A huge field, rentable grill spots and a shady walking path complete the perfect spot to fly a kite or start an impromptu game of kickball.<\/li>\n
  3. Ludovici Park<\/strong> (17641 Old Cutler Rd, 305-232-1771). With a public library, pavilion, and band shell, Ludovici is often the site of park events like Holiday by the Bay and local concerts.\u00a0Ludovici Park is also a great place to take a walk near Palmetto Bay’s most famous resident: An alligator who lives in the nearby pond (behind a fence, of course!).<\/li>\n
  4. Thalatta Estate<\/strong> (17301 Old Cutler Rd, 305-234-6383). Thalatta Estate is a great way to teach children about local history. Tour the historic home and grounds and watch the wildlife on the mangrove-ringed edge of Biscayne Bay.<\/li>\n
  5. Perrine Wayside Dog Park<\/strong> (16425 South Dixie Hwy, 305 259-1234). Shady benches, pavilions, a lake, dog & human water fountains and a doggy wash station make Perrine Wayside Dog Park the perfect spot for the whole family. Bring the toys and let little & furry ones run off all their energy in a wonderfully fun way!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
