Triangle Park

A Tiny Green Escape in the City

Next to 11th Street in Miami, Triangle Park is exactly what it sounds like - a small, triangular glimpse of greenery amid the urban landscape. While it won't top any 'biggest parks' lists, this modest space offers a surprisingly peaceful retreat from the surrounding city bustle.

The vibe here is refreshingly low-key, with a clean, safe atmosphere that makes it excellent for a quick breather or a few hours of outdoor time. It's one of those cozy locations that locals know about but tourists often miss.

Get Moving or Just Chill

Fancy shooting some hoops? The park's basketball court is usually ready for action. If you're more in a relaxation mode, grab one of the picnic tables for an alfresco lunch or just to sit and watch the world go by.

If you've got kids in tow, the playground area will be your saving grace. It features a swing set with two options - one designed for the little-littles and another for bigger kids. The jungle gym with slides is usually a hit with children, but do note that the playground sits on sand rather than grass, and there's no shade covering - so sunscreen is your friend on those bright Miami days.

A Touch of Nature

Come fall, you might enjoy hunting for acorns scattered across the park with your kids - a simple but surprisingly entertaining activity when you're looking for something free and fun to do. There's enough open space for children to run around and burn off energy, however green space enthusiasts might notice there's more sand than grass in certain areas.

Good to Know Before You Go

Dog parents, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome here, just keep them leashed and be sure to clean up after them. The park is decidedly pet-friendly, making it a nice stop during your daily dog walk.

A couple of practical notes: There are no public restrooms available, so plan accordingly. Parking is available nearby, but you'll need to pay for it. The park's location near local businesses means you can easily combine your visit with other errands or grab a coffee from a nearby shop to enjoy in your little urban oasis.
