About the Location
Historic Origins
Peacock Park is a 9.4-acre public urban park located in the Coconut Grove neighborhood of Miami, Florida. Situated on the shore of Biscayne Bay, the park offers visitors a mix of recreational facilities and natural beauty.
The park has a rich history dating back to 1883 when it was the site of the Bay View House, later renamed the Peacock Inn, which was the first hotel on mainland Florida south of Palm Beach. The City of Miami purchased the property in 1934 and established it as a public park.
In 1973, it was renamed Peacock Park in honor of Charles and Isabella Peacock, the original hotel owners and early settlers of the area.
