Confirmed from A.D. (Doug) Barnes Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Large green space featuring a public pool, nature center, playgrounds & hiking trails.
What runners say about A.D. (Doug) Barnes Park
“Such a nice park with walking trails and a clean playground.”
“Beautiful open spaced park with one baseball field, a public swimming pool, one basketball court and a nature path in the back of the park by the "Nature Center.”
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.
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.
Small but enchanting. AD Barnes nature trails are very relaxing to explore. Most of the trails are paved. I liked the uniqueness vegetation of this park. Pine trees dominate in one area, while just steps away old oaks trees dominate the other area, bringing a great variety of birds.
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.
