Matheson Hammock Park & Marina

Matheson Hammock Park is a massive 630-acres of park with lots of beautiful views. The park is a stunning scenic oasis featuring a man-made atoll pool adjacent to Biscayne Bay. The park offers picnic pavilions, nature trails and a snack bar and restaurant built into an historic coral stone building, which is absolutely beautiful. There is also an onsite marina for boats up to 50-foot long and a fishing tackle shop, boat launch ramps, gas and diesel fuel, and wet-slips.

Matheson Hammock Park is a popular destination for photographers who want to capture the natural beauty of this park for quinceaneras, engagements, and weddings! 😍

Plenty to do at this family friendly park activities include biking, birdwatching, (owls have been spotted), fishing, kayaking, kiteboarding, and walking. 😃

The beach has a small area designated for small children, it is more like a saltwater lagoon and is quite nice. The water is actually quite clean. There are showers and changing rooms in the beach area. The bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

Dogs are not allowed in the park. Many people are confused by the rules since this Google page says otherwise. But, Matheson Hammock Park doesn’t have access to make corrections on this Google platform and has contacted miamidade . gov to do so (on the internet write [miamidade . gov] altogether without spacing…this platform doesn’t allow links in reviews). I contacted them and I encourage everyone to do the same. The more requests they receive from the community the faster it will get updated. Thank you! 😊

The park is open from sunrise to sunset daily. Parking is paid through PayByPhone app.

If you like the outdoors you will enjoy this park. Great for planning events or for a family celebration. Highly recommend!

Thank you Miami-Dade for enforcing the rules and maintaining our parks clean for us to enjoy. 😃

PS Dogs are allowed in West Matheson Hammock Park 9800 Old Cutler Road, just down the road.
