Eaton Park

Nearby Retreat

Situated in the historic corner of Little Haiti, Eaton Park offers 3.2 acres of urban breathing room for locals looking to escape the Miami heat. This modest green space sits right next to the Cushman School (Miami-Dade's oldest continuously running private school) and behind the Lemon City Branch Library, making it a convenient spot for families and students alike.

Get Your Game On

Looking for a quick pickup game? The basketball court here might not be NBA-regulation, but it's excellent for shooting hoops with friends or practicing your three-pointer. If you've got little ones in tow, there's a cool scout-format playground where they can climb and explore safely. Just a heads up - you won't find any swings here, so manage those expectations accordingly.

The open grassy areas are versatile spaces where you can toss a frisbee, have a casual picnic, or just sprawl out with a good book. On many afternoons, you'll come across enthusiastic groups gathering for soccer matches, bringing energy and community spirit to the park.

Chill-Out Spots

When you need to refuel or just take a breather, the park offers several picnic tables, comfortable benches, and BBQ grills scattered throughout. These make for perfect pit stops whether you're planning a family cookout or just need somewhere to rest after walking the neighborhood.

The entire park is fully fenced (parents, rejoice!), and there's a bicycle path with bike racks if you're exploring Miami on two wheels. One of the park's best features? The mature trees that create pools of shade within the grounds - a true blessing during those scorching Florida afternoons.

Local Living

Eaton Park isn't trying to compete with Miami's flashier attractions, but that's exactly its charm. This unassuming space functions as a neighborhood gathering spot where the pace slows down and the crowds thin out. It's typically quiet and uncrowded - a rare find in bustling Miami.

And if you're lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective), you might spot a few iguanas sunning themselves nearby, adding a touch of Florida wildlife to your visit.
