Brothers to the Rescue Memorial Park

A Place of Remembrance

Positioned in Miami, Brothers to the Rescue Memorial Park stands as a quiet tribute to the Brothers to the Rescue organization, whose members bravely conducted search and rescue missions for Cuban refugees adrift in the Florida Straits during the 1990s.

The park provides a peaceful space to reflect on the memory of four individuals - Armando Alejandre Jr., Carlos Costa, Mario de la Peña, and Pablo Morales - who lost their lives when their planes were shot down by Cuban military aircraft on February 24, 1996.

Play Ball!

Beyond its commemorative role, this park comes alive with the crack of bats and cheers from the sidelines. The baseball fields host local games and youth leagues throughout the season.

During game days, the concession stand opens up, offering snacks and drinks to fuel both players and their enthusiastic supporters. While weekends during baseball season bring energy and excitement, you can find a more tranquil atmosphere here during off-peak times.

Far From Just Baseball

The park isn't just for sports enthusiasts. Shady spots and open areas make it fantastic for picnics and casual family gatherings. The park has a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere, suitable for playing, watching games, or simply enjoying some outdoor time.

You'll come across restroom facilities available, however they're fairly basic - just what you need for a day at the park. Paved walkways wind around the grounds, making it easy to navigate between different areas.

Practical Details

There's a dedicated parking lot that usually offers plenty of space. Just a heads up - after heavy rains, some sections of the lot can get a bit soggy, so you might want to bring appropriate footwear if you're visiting after wet weather.

The park welcomes visitors daily from 7 AM to 7:30 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to enjoy all it has to offer, whether you're coming for a morning walk, afternoon game, or early evening picnic.
