Confirmed from South Dade 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.
Park offering pools & splash areas, basketball & tennis courts, a skate park & fitness programs.
What runners say about South Dade Park
“Went to a baby shower, it was very clean , comfortable and with A/c.”
Really nice and peaceful park. You can walk, play basketball, kids playground it has a skate park, walking trail and a pool. It's in a good neighborhood. I really enjoy going here and so do my kids.
The sidewalks on the inside trail need to be repaired because they are a tripping hazard and would also be hard on a child in a stroller. Big open field for the kids to run around. Basketball court is nice as well as the tennis and skatepark. Playground is pretty decent.
My kids love the pirate ship theme. Very clean and well shaded. Nice breeze and just a few people walking the sidewalks at 9:30am. Highly recommend.
