Continental Park is a neighborhood park located in central Miami-Dade County in Kendall. This 18 acre park is bisected by SW 82nd Ave creating an east and west section. Continental Park dates back to the 1950's making it one of Kendall's oldest and most active parks.
The park has a number of amenities beloved by the community. These include a walking path, community center, tennis center, basketball court, and three baseball fields. In the northeast corner of the park is the Dice House. Built in the 1920's, it was the home of the first mayor of Kendall.
During my visit I enjoyed strolling the winding pathways but this park is also ideal for enjoying a picnic with family and friends, taking the kids to play on the modern shade covered playground, or simply seeking a peaceful spot to be in nature. More active sports enthusiasts will enjoy the well-maintained tennis courts, basketball courts, and soccer fields which are perfect for a friendly game or serious practice sessions.

The park hosts regular and seasonal events like active older adult programs and gatherings that bring residents together, fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging in the community. The park's clean and well-kept facilities reflect the community's pride and commitment to maintaining this cherished...
