Confirmed from Maurice A. Ferré 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.
Spacious waterside park featuring a sand beach, large amphitheater & a playground.

Maurice A. Ferré Park is one of my favorite places in Miami! The park is beautiful, clean, and perfectly located by the waterfront with amazing views of Biscayne Bay and the skyline. It’s great for walking, relaxing, or just enjoying the fresh air.
Really amazing walk! Must visit for animal lovers!!! We were slightly hoping to see there our beloved basenjis, but we haven't spotted any in our 9 days in Miami so chances were slim, still loved it!!!
A lovely little oasis in the middle of all the travel hustle. The park was well-maintained, quiet, and genuinely beautiful — exactly the kind of place you stumble upon and feel grateful for. I stopped in to soak up some sun and decompress between legs of my trip, and it delivered perfectly.
Maurice A. Ferré Park is one of the best spots to just relax and take in the city. It’s perfectly located right next to Pérez Art Museum Miami, Kaseya Center, and Bayside Marketplace, so there’s always something going on nearby.
