Peaceful, clean, and a place to just relax and people watch. Grab a coffee from one of the nearby eateries and hang out at this park for a while. A nice breeze on a warm day.
This is a historic park you can visit it is open to the public
They didn't have many animals out but it was still nice got to watch the dolphins perform and I'll be coming back more in the summer time like may thru probably August

Williams Park has fit camp and zumba free every Saturday
Una pérdida de tiempo. Pague un parqueo de $20 para no ver nada. Muy descuidado. Hay un laguito pequeño con agua sucia. Recorrí todo el parque en 2 minutos. Mejor busquen otro lugar
It has a workout centerc it haves tiki huts. I talk more about it on my YouTube channel Cecilia torres awakening down south be sure to like share and subscribe.
Last weekend, we let ourselves be caught up in the pictures/comments of this place that we saw on the internet but the reality is completely different. We must call things by its name. It's NOT a Japanese Garden. It's very poorly managed and was dirty and abandoned ⎯No one there. There is NOTHING inside, it took us 3 minutes to walk it and too much disappointment. Do not look at the photos, they have nothing to do with reality, at least now. In effect, such messiness is a mark of disrespect and disparages the Japanese culture.

We didn't get to see the orca, don't know what happened. There were some attractions that were closed and the staff itself seemed a bit fed up
Overall you should visit it just out of curiosity

Es wird viel für Kinder geboten. Von Delphin-Shows, Flipper-Show und Seehunde-Show.
Desweiteren einige Fischearten .
Hier kann man sogar Rochen streicheln und Füttern.

Viele Papageien und Schildkröten.
Essen & Trinken sowie Toiletten. An jeder Ecke.

Was es nicht mehr gibt im. Vergleich zu unseren früheren Besuche, sind Orcas und Wasserschildkröten, diese sind ganz aus dem Zoo verschwunden.

Wir waren an einem Samstag, es war ü überhaupt nicht voll, keine Schlangen o.ä.

Uns hat es gefallen.
Sweet little spot to relax.. but was very wet and mud everywhere.
I don't know if it was because of the rain or something else.
Very beautiful place. I was the only person there at the time and had a nice time relaxing. Didn't need too much to feel at peace. There were a lot of dragonflies and small lizards. This is one of my favorite places here in Miami to just be.
This park is a little hidden gem. I love walking here as it is very peaceful, never crowded, and the scenery is nice. There is even a covered area with exercise equipment and benches. I like it a lot.
Swimming with the dolphins was a phenomenal experience. Trainers are wonderful and give clear direction and inform all guests how to be safe for themselves and the dolphins. You can not bring your cell phone, which makes it very expensive because you're limited to just purchasing the photos that the photographer takes. The aquarium staff throughout the entire park are very friendly and helpful. Attractions are very limited and few. We enjoyed the sea lion show and the dolphin show, but that was really it. Good experience, but it needs a revamp.

You have to be lucky not to get caught in the rain, as the park is open-air😊 Animal shows start at different times🐬 you can take a walk with the children. There are various delicious snacks for sale here, you won't go hungry.
We went to this place today. If you don’t expect much, you will be surprised sometimes. We met the (only) volunteer here. Super nice guy with a passion for the garden, he told is a lot about te place and about Japan 🇯🇵. Good job that there is somebody working on. We had a awesome 25 minutes!

Visited this place on 8/6/23 (was there ALL day)
For those that are saying this aquarium is no good, I really think they are just a free the animals kind of people (and I’m not saying that’s a bad thing at all)! But also if you’ve been somewhere like sea world, this is VERY small in comparison! So I wouldn’t judge it compared to that, because there are no rides. Only aquatic marine life and exhibited. We also overheard that this place has just recently been taken over by new owners, because the old ones where no longer able to keep up with it anymore. I’m sure Covid didn’t help either. For the most part it was fairly clean, I think they are working on getting it back up to 100%… but they can’t do that unless people go. We did the dolphin encounter, which was truly AWESOME! And even got seal kisses too! The food was good too, nothing fancy, but your basic park type foods! Now I bet did have a Wendy’s frosty trailer/truck… and yea it was the real deal. Which was a perfect treat on a seriously hot day! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! I would definitely go back and visit again.

I was disappointed with the size of the aquarium. I thought it would be significantly larger considering its in Miami. There are two gift shops which sell the same thing. Shirts for adults and children are limited in variety. We watched the dolphin show and it was fun, but the program was really short. I needed a manual wheelchair but the only ones available were motorized and they wanted me to pay money to use it.

I purchased my tickets online and the Aquarium offers a military discount. Parking is free and there are ample parking spots. I did enjoy seeing the manatees, sting rays, flamingos, and the big tank where you can see all kinds of sea life. I don't think I would spend the money to come to this aquarium again.

I took my kids one day to this park just to play and one of the person who work in here told us to leave even though the park was open for kids to play that person had the nerve to tell me we could not be here too early because they had a summer camp across the other side off-the-field so that individual came to warn us we had to go if not the police will come I was scratching my head wonder why if my kids are just playing in a public there was no sign dedicating a what time the park was open to the public and it's a shame every time we pass by there just never nobody playing in there wonder why so if you guys want to take your kids here and told to leave this is the place for u

It was a very nice experience, lots of fun. What I didn't like was that when you pay for dolphin interaction it doesn't include the picture. At first I had the wrong impression with it. I thought that 1 picture was included. The animal presentation was nice. They have sprinkler around the park to help with heat. Different food or snack carts around. Overall it was a pleasant experience, my child enjoyed it very much and for me that is what matters most. 😊

Always there. Needs more exercise equipment out doors. The exercise equipment has been moved over three years. All the city of Miami parks has exercise equipment outdoors. This is a let down. Not enough bleachers for people to sit while enjoying outdoors activates.
Nice park and on Friday they have a food truck event it starts at 5pm and ends at 10pm the food is very good and delicious 😋.

The track and field facility has a great track to workout on. The facility is well taken cared of and is equipped wirh a football field in the center of the track
I have leaved in Miami for the past 30 years and it is the first time I heard of the Miami Riverday Festival. I went with a friend and it was fun, entertaining and free! I wish there where more things like this in Miami this days.
It's always a beautiful place to just sit and relax. The small lake is beautiful and the duck are little rascals but adorable. This is my go to place, just to walk, sit or exercise.

Cute park to check out if you're in the area. Really small but it has a pretty view 🌊😊
Nice little nook.
The Village of Biscayne Park is a great community with interesting architectural styles. The historic Village Hall Log Cabin, which serves as Commission chambers for all meetings, Board meetings, and special events set the tone of their uniqueness.

As an adult, I had fun going there. The basketball court is small but in good shape. They are fixing the pool right now, so hopefully by summer it will be available to the public. No smoking allowed inside any of the park areas. I went with a group of friends and we had a great time. It's beautiful clean, although on one side at the edge of the park a woman and her friend were smoking a.blunt.
Extremely nice and quiet park. No playground but there is a covered area with workout equipment. Paved sidewalk around a pond can be used as a jogging path or for a nice walk. Enough shade for a picnic, quick rest or duck watching. We saw a family teaching their kids to ride bikes and an older lady exercising and walking her dog.

gets boring after 10 minutes, isolated
Mi hija fue hoy a Jungle Island y mientras que esperaba a que la recogieran quedo esperando en este parque. Es pequeño pero era tranquilo entonces fue comodo para esperar ahi. El problema es que la encerraron mientras que estaba adentro con candado. Nadie se tomo la molestia de verificar si todavia habia alguien y le toco saltar sobre la puerta. Menos mal que ella es joven y fuerte entonces no hubo mucho problema, pero imaginense si fuera algun adulto mayor o algun niño. Muy preocupante...
I visit the very historic lummus park from time to time and come across the same staff all the time. The staff that make the park a great experience when I go are Ozzy, Stephanie and Roberto (the park manager). The staff are very knowledgeable, welcoming and very polite. Thank you to those mentioned park staff for making and allowing me to enjoy lummus park.

Lots of parking. Concession stand has a variety of food reasonably priced. Friday nights they have food trucks off 40th st. entrance.
The park is extremely pleasant to visit. I've been going to this park for years with my kids. It's always clean and kids love meeting and making new friends. The equipment is safe and in good condition. We're never afraid to be at this location as safety is priority amongst everyone. The basketball hoops could be of better quality but you can't have it all as the backboards are of cheep quality. There are better parks if your solely looking to play basketball. But it's not a deal breaker.
Nice park but I wouldn't recommend it unless you're already in the area. Not in the easiest place to get to by transit.

Pretty nice park located in a neighborhood. There weren't that many people here ,only about 4. It has a nice sidewalk that wraps around the park for running or walking. It's so quite and peaceful, especially sitting by the lake. Definitely come here if you are stressed, it will help 🌼
Great place watch football n play flagfootball. There's light are at stadium for night
Great track inside tropical park. It's never too full. Great bleachers for exercising. Clean restrooms and a nice snack store.

Quaint little park in the middle of the neighborhood. Found it quite by accident, as it's literally in between houses in a residential area. There is ample seating and a shaded playground area. Geared toward families with young children (1 to 3 years) as the equipment is limited to one small sized apparatus and there are no swings or equipment for older children. Small walking circle around the playground and larger outer circle that goes from one end of park area to the other. So it's not a park you would visit for exercise. Just a nice little community area that seems to have sprung up in the middle of the houses. It's quiet and peaceful. I can hear the birds and distant traffic and nothing else. #Nature

Come here to fish on the other side of the park since fishing in the park is prohibited. Has one picnic table beautiful spacious trees.
Not bad and not nice in between but it dies need to be cleaned up or better manicured.
In terms of small and relaxing parks, this one pretty much tops.

Lake to enjoy the scenery of water (without getting too close) - check.

Trees to enjoy shade, maybe take in a book or small picnic with friends - check.

Walking path around park and small amount of equipment if the mood strikes - check.

Never crowded because the area it is placed is admittedly a bit odd but perfect for people who live close by - check.

Recommendation: Yes! If you want to read or be near friends in a non crowded, small park.

Very small park that has the potential to be very cozy. It is wonderful for small children (babies & toddlers). It needs serious renovations though since it looks like the actual playing center in the middle of the park is aged and discolored. The benches are aged as well, not very comfortable. Cooper, the nearby park, has many more amenities and has gone through more renovations.
Amazing park over all! Great place to get a solid run , jog or set of sprints. A lot of parking available always and never full of people. Overall great place to work out out doors while seeing a nice view

Excelente lugar para pasar un tiempo con nuestros hijos. Limpieza y seguridad excelente.
Small secluded park,not many people go to this park and it's right on the bay!
Rather small and somewhat limited. Absolutely did not fill the 1:10 we planned to kill here. About as calm as you would expect it to be.
Fish but no food dispensers, but they leap even at leaves in the water, so I guess it evens out.

I can honestly say it was quite nice and it certainly has a lot of space for kids to play as well but it's peaceful and the area is overall nice and vibrant. Wouldn't mind setting up a picnic here either.

Small. Still very nice place to go an walk, a little small for runners and it has almost no games for small children, either way this place is desirable for my family because it is very close to our home.
A quiet, clean, small park. No-one is ever there. Nice place to fish for a minute. I ride my bike.

Nice park utilized by the United Way for volunteer meets. Indoor area which is air conditioned was a life saver. In addition to baseball fields, a pool area and open field parts, there is a children's play area with some shade available. All in all a great park in the middle of the battle of historically lower socioeconomic surroundings and the gentrification push.

Went paddleboarding down the Miami river. Had to be one of the coolest experiences I have had yet!
Very nice field!! Better than any gym i can ever go to
Nice peaceful place,but very small. You can walk entire place in under 20 min. Chill spot if you just want to disconnect from the city for a few minutes.
Suns out and the clouds are blocking it but it's not going to rain today, perfect day to go here
