Schenley Park

A Pocket of Peace

Positioned in Miami's urban landscape, Schenley Park is a charming 2-acre green retreat on the west side of Red Road, just south of SW 27th Street. It's not the biggest park around, but it offers a peaceful atmosphere. With its sprawling lawn and strategically scattered trees offering pockets of shade, this little oasis gives locals a breather from city life without having to venture far from home.

Neighborhood Hangout

Despite its modest footprint, Schenley is the backyard many Miami apartments don't have. The park has become a cherished recreational spot for the Schenley Park/Coral Terrace community. There's something soothing about the simplicity here - just open green space where you can take a leisurely stroll, toss a frisbee, or simply lie back on the grass and watch clouds drift by. The lush greenery and seasonal blooms create a natural sanctuary amid Miami's concrete corridors.

Perfect Picnic Spot

If you're looking to dine al fresco, the shaded areas beneath mature trees make for ideal picnic spots. The shaded areas beneath mature trees make for ideal picnic spots where you can spread out a blanket and enjoy a meal surrounded by nature.

Note that while the park is generally well-kept, you might occasionally encounter some areas that could use a bit of TLC. If you're bringing little ones along, just keep an eye out for any debris that might find its way onto the grounds.

Where Neighbors Become Friends

Throughout the year, the park transforms into a gathering place for community events that bring residents together. From Easter celebrations with egg hunts to seasonal festivities, these free public events have become a staple of neighborhood life. They're the kind of occasions where you might arrive knowing no one and leave having made new friends from just blocks away.

Pup-Approved Paradise

Four-legged family members are welcome at Schenley Park, making it a go-to destination for daily dog walks. The open layout gives pups room to explore (on leash, of course) while their humans enjoy some fresh air and greenery. If you're bringing your furry friend, remember to be a responsible pet parent - bring those waste bags and keep an eye on your pooch.

Growing Better Together

Schenley Park is changing. Thanks to community efforts, local residents have been identifying improvements for the park.

On the horizon are plans to increase the tree canopy for more natural shade, create better-defined parking areas, and add new amenities that will make visits even more enjoyable. It's a testament to how much this little green space means to the community it serves.
