Confirmed from City of West Miami - Edmund P. Cooper 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.

“It isn't a huge park, but it has a lot to offer for all ages.”
Great place to take the kids. No animals allowed. It's pretty well maintained but not much parking. My son loves to come and play on the small play grounds and run around in the open grass.
Love this park! It gives my littles options to play and plenty of open space to run around. They just added a new monkey bar section although tailored for bigger kids, my little still likes trying.
Great little place. Always bring my nephew here to run around. It's small enough that you can always keep an eye on the kids no matter where you are. It has a small area where you can do dips, pull ups, and other calisthenics. It also has a little path that you can run on.
What a great park! It's in a nice neighborhood location, very accessible. It isn't a huge park, but it has a lot to offer for all ages.
