Twelve acre Founders Park in Aventura is dedicated to those who helped to get the city incorporated in 1995. There is a monument to the founders of Aventura in the park.
There are two sections of the park, north and south. The south section bayside which I visited is on the promenade that runs along the Intracoastal. There is a paved walkway and the Aventura Community Green Garden. Residents of Aventura can lease a a 4 x 12 foot garden plot for $110 a year.
The northern section of Founders Park is for Aventura residents only. There is a welcome center; a quarter-mile, four station exercise trail; ADA accessible playground; sun shelters; tennis courts, and a multipurpose athletic field for baseball, softball, football or soccer.

After being at the splash pad for about six minutes, a very rude woman came over screaming at us, saying the park did not open until 10. There was no notice of this online or anywhere near the splash pad. We explained that we had paid, and there was no indication of the different opening hours, but she was very rude and basically threw us out.
To save you some time, don't bother driving down and getting to the park at 8 AM, despite what it says online. Also, be prepared to spend nearly $30 for a small splash pad in a public park. If the manager is reading this, your staff could benefit from some training in interpersonal skills. There is a way to communicate and...
