Great for mountain bike trails amongst other cool park amenities(picnics, kayaking, petting zoo, horse rides, etc.)! So, I wanted to start my review with the point that stood out to me the most from other parks around Miami--the mountain bike(mtb) trails--simply because that's the only reason I visited the park. Aside from the freestyle wakeboarding, the mtb trails are one of the few things this park offers that you won't find at your average city park. Atmosphere: The trails are a great way to feel like you're not in the city anymore, and just get away for a bit. Very well marked so you're not confused on your first ride. The beginner trails flow very well for beginners and kids, and offer simple obstacles to get over or maneuver. Smalls yet moderately challenging uphills followed by gratifying subtle downhills. Trails can take anywhere from 10-60 minutes to finish depending on whether you want to just breeze through the easiest trails or try all of them in ascending difficulty. GREAT FOR PICTURES (when the trails are completely empty). I don't recommend stopping for pictures. It was just extremely empty and late in the day, so I knew we were the only two people on the trails. Parking: PayByPhone is located around the park, but there are some places you can pull up without paying, although I'm sure security may eventually come by and tell you to move if it's a packed weekend. Facilities: Couldn't find a single restroom by or in the mtb trails, so be ready to.....yeah lol. Hours of Operation: I went on a weekday holiday (Fourth of July) around 6pm and they were still open until sundown, which was about 8:15-8:30pm. Overall: I'm literally trying to go back as soon as possible lol! Might load up my bike this weekend, and see a comparison on the weekends. P.S. the beginner trails aren't hard, but my friend had a city cruiser with no suspension with one gear, and road tires AND STILL managed to do about half of the obstacles. highly suggest at least a stiff tail mountain bike. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED. lol that rule is on every directional sign in the trail section, so there's no excuse if you get caught without one.

The best beach for a family and dog friendly. This won't be the "average review", I am a mother of 3 little girls. I also have a support animal. I fled from states away after domestic violence and used every dollar I had the first few weeks to keep my children and I afloat. We searched for a place that was dog friendly, had wifi, a playground and clean bathrooms. Throughout the day and night we had nowhere to stay and used this as a safe space to do schooling and rest during the day. We were unaware of the individuals working the park and that they were keeping an eye on us, we were more focused on just making it through the day and completing school. It was hard and exhausting but by God's grace and mercy he placed us in the right place at the right time and a man with a heart of Gold stepped up and spoke to me and told me he knew our situation and was going to help. I had called every domestic violence shelter and the hotline and didn't receive help, just more numbers to try. This man, Cesar, went above and beyond and helped my girls and I get into communication with those that would and could help. Do not expect God to send help from people you know, he will use strangers to bless you. I pray for blessings over that man, his family and children. We went from a car to a bed in a matter of a few hours after me calling and getting no help for a little over a week. God is good and when you just hang on he will place those who can and will help you in your path. GOD BLESS YOU CESAR AND MRS. MINA FOR HELPING MY GIRLS.

My family and I visited Amelia Earhart Park on Thursday, 10/3/2024, and had a wonderful experience. Although we didn’t get to explore the entire park, the parts we did see were fantastic. We spent time at a small playground, which was perfect for the kids, and then took a walk along a lovely path that features a beautiful butterfly garden and a workout area. The workout section is great because it offers machines that allow you to use your own body weight for exercise—perfect for an outdoor fitness session! We also noticed there’s a dog park, which seemed like a fun spot for pets and their owners. Parking was free, which is a great perk on weekdays, but be aware that there’s a fee for parking on weekends. While walking around, we saw lots of people working out, biking, skating, and enjoying the fresh air. There’s so much more to explore here, and we can’t wait to come back for another visit. Highly recommend this park for families and fitness enthusiasts alike!

I wanted to thank David Carballo who works at Amelia Park . He really deserves 5 stars ⭐️ yes 👍!!! Yesterday my daughter and I decided to take My cat Peluso on a day out at Amelia Park; first I asked David to please help me move a table near the bbq grill, which he kindly called the right person to help me, while we were waiting for the table to be moved, Peluso decided to hide under David’s pick up truck 😩, I really had no idea how to make my cat get out from there, but David and his other coworker ( which unfortunately I don’t remember his name ) they both helped us and did all the possible and imposible to help me get Peluso out of the truck. We literally spent more than hour trying to get my cat out safe 😟 . And yes 🙌 finally we got him out , safe !!! Thanks 😊 David for being such as great 👍 person and a great asset to the Park !

This little park made up for my earlier disappointing visit to Florida's Everglades when I visited Miami in Nov 2017. If it wasn't for Amelia, my whole trip would've been a disaster (just like the hurricane Irma) because Miami city is not really my cup of tea. It's green, it has lakes that are clean, there are trails for walking in woods, horse stable, children play area with goats and most of all, it has wildlife. At one point I saw a big lizard coming out of public restrooms (maybe it was inspecting it for cleanliness) These little Komodo Dragons are all over the place and freely walking among chickens, goats and other water birds. And its named after the Brave woman Amelia Earhart who was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. What's not to like?
