African Square Park
About African Square Park
Where Community Comes Together
Positioned in the heart of Miami's Liberty City neighborhood, African Square Park is a green space where locals gather, play, and connect. Spanning about 3.5 acres, this little urban oasis offers a welcome splash of greenery amid the city bustle.
With its clean facilities and shade trees that provide relief from the Florida sun, there's a comfortable, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile.
Play & Recreation for Everyone
The park offers options for both exercise and children's entertainment.
The well-maintained playground gives little ones space to climb, slide, and swing in a clean environment. The playground equipment is in good condition, providing a place where children can be active.
Got a competitive streak? The basketball court attracts players of all skill levels, from casual shooters to serious ballers looking for a good pickup game.
Chill Spots to Unwind
Not in the mood for activities? No problem. Find your perfect spot at one of the picnic tables scattered across the park, ideal for enjoying a packed lunch or catching up with friends. The designated picnic area works beautifully for family gatherings or small meetups when you need a bit more space.
The park's paved walkways make for easy strolling, whether you're taking a thoughtful solo walk or getting some steps in. There's plenty of open space for dog walking too - just remember to bring bags for cleanup duties.
The Heart of Local Culture
African Square Park also functions as a venue for local cultural activities. The park regularly becomes home to community events and gatherings that strengthen neighborhood bonds. During Halloween, the open spaces transform with bounce houses, music, food vendors, and pumpkin carving stations, creating memorable experiences for local families.
Practical Stuff to Know
You can find restrooms on-site (though hours may vary), and there's a parking lot available if you're coming by car.
The park is also home to the Meyga Learning Center, a valuable educational resource staffed by dedicated individuals who support the neighborhood's children.
