Schenley
Park
is
located
in
the
Schenley
Miami
neighborhood
consisting
of
300
acres
of
mostly
homes.
The
neighborhood
is
framed
by
Red
Road
to
the
east,
Coral
Way
to
the
north,
63rd
Avenue
to
the
west,
and
the
Coral
Gables
Canal
to
the
south.
You
can
find
it
near
the
historic
Biltmore
Hotel
in
Coral
Gables.
At
the
entrance
to
the
neighborhood
is
Wayside
Park
with
it's
dramatic
medieval
inspired
towers.
Also
located
in
this
neighborhood
is
the
world-renowned
Nicklaus
Children's
Hospital
formerly
known
as
Miami
Children's
Hospital,
nationally
ranked
as
one

the

Children's

This
park
is
an
urban
open
space,
designated
sites
in
the
city
which
are
over
0.1
acre
and
typically
contain
landscaped
areas
but
no
facilities
or
other
improvements.
These
open
spaces
are
places
in
Coral
Gables
that
are
designed
to
be
aesthetically
pleasing
or
to
serve
as
a
buffer
to
more
congested
areas.
Typically
they
are
used
to
contain
some
kind
on
monument,
seating,
or
walkways.
According
to
George
Merrick
who
designed
and
built
Coral
Gables
in
the
1920's
neighborhood
parks
were
meant
to
be
a
"great
garden
set
with
houses,
a
park
where
all
the
people
can
live
to
the
best
of
their
capacities"
Schenley
Park
is
located
in
a
depression
in
the
ground.
There
are
large
ficus
trees
and
oolite
limestone
boulders.
There
is
no
designated
parking
spaces.
If
you
live
in
the
neighborhood
this
park
is
good
for
walking
your
dog,
exercising,
or
a
picnic.
However
if
you
want
to
take
some
really
great
pictures
head
a
short
distance
down
the
road
to
the
fairytale
towers
of
Wayside
Park.
