Confirmed from Dante Fascell 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.
Family-friendly green space, with basketball and volleyball courts, a playground and picnic tables.

“One of the best family friendly parks.”
Very nice park right off Red Road located conveniently between Coral Gables and Pinecrest in the City of South Miami. They have clay courts that are well maintained with above ground sprinklers and and just okay hitting wall.
Went for a birthday party, very nice park, for children and adults. Well maintained, clean. Bathrooms didn't have toilet paper so keep that in mind. Parking is a bit small and far from park area, but we found a spot with no problem (Saturday afternoon, no special events).
This park is just BREATHE TAKING!! My father used to take me when I was a kid so it's also very nostalgic for me but it has changed quite a bit since then. There are beautiful tasteful sculptures to admire for both young and not so young folks.
Nice quiet park with some shade. It's near a road so sometimes it does get loud but for the most part it is quiet. It also has tennis courts and exercise machines. I really like to use the pathway that goes around the park to walk. The best part about this park are the gazebos that are utilized for birthday parties.
Trail conditions & character
“It's not really part of the park, but you can use the parking and wheel the kayak to the SW corner to access the platform just outside the park fence.”
“Always nice and clean and the people visiting are peaceful and well mannered.”
