  • 5/5 Brian Lutz (Backhand C. 2 years ago on Google
    Great location to play tennis on the water front in downtown Miami. There is a nice shaded area between the tennis courts and ample room between both courts if you have a doubles game so there is lots of room on the side lines. Fences are high and the courts are newly resurfaced with fresh paint. There are a lot of bird baths on the court so it takes longer than normal to dry in the hot Miami sun but with a breeze off Biscayne Bay they dry quickly. Courts are located next to the sand pit where they play beach volleyball and a few blocks away from the basketball courts. The tennis courts are first come first serve and do get busy especially early morning and evening play. The courts are open from 8am to 10pm at night. If you do come here during prime hours expect to have to wait. Technically, there are no tennis lessons supposed to happen here but the demand is so high from the tennis community they do happen. If you are looking for organized tennis programs for adults in Miami try Backhand City. There is also a really good health food restaurant across the street that sells refreshing smoothies for after tennis.

    This is a great spot to walk along the Bay. The dog park is here. There's a cute cafe across the street. Nice urban artwork installations.

    Margaret Pace was the founder and President of the Miami Garden Club. She was also the chairman of Royal State Park which later became part of Everglades National Park. As a former Vice President of the Miami Woman's Club, she fought development of the adjoining green space which then became the 8 acre park. Margaret Pace Park was created in the late 1960's and named in her honor. In 2003 the park received a 4 million dollar makeover. Margaret Pace Park is located at the south end of Edgewater. On the east side of the park is Biscayne Bay and on the west side is towering condos. Park amenities include basketball and tennis court, shaded playground, outdoor exercise equipment, sand volleyball court, paved walkway, public art, paddleboard and kayak rentals, and a dog park. Pay parking by app is available on the street. On August 10, 2023 the city of Miami unveiled their master plan to renovate Margaret Pace Park. To combat the heat misting areas, splash pads and tree coverage are planned for the park. Other components of the plan include improvements to the shoreline, an upgraded playground, additional beach volleyball courts, a two story community center, pickleball court, and a sandy area for recreational activities. Construction is projected to proceed over three phases beginning next year. You can see the plan on line and there is one hanging on the playground fence. The view of the bay is gorgeous and the mosaic throne chairs are a unique discovery. Each twenty-foot high, two-ton throne visually conveys the stories of the three largest ethnic communities of elders who had settled in Miami. The paved walkway is perfect for exercising and walking your dog. It is truly amazing that this green spaced was able to be preserved from development. Just look around at the buildings dwarfing the park and you can see how ripe this spot was for development. Margaret Pace did the Miami community such a great service by saving this recreational space and it is about to get even better.

    Always filled with interesting characters for a morning or evening walk. Great for dogs (fenced dog park and lots of areas for dogs to run in an open field). Tennis courts, long boards for rent, and beautiful water views.

    Amazingly beautiful Miami scenery. Lots of incredible views all around, same with all sorts of picturesqueness in people; but, definitely, the doggies playing and running on the green are the ultimate vibe booster and highlight of the place.

    Margaret Pace Park (a/k/a the "dog park"), which is walking distance from a number of local hotels, is a great place for a family outing or picnic with friends. There are tennis, volleyball and basketball courts, and an ample field where on any given day you might find a touch football game, organized cross-fit lessons or dogs and their owners performing amazing frisbee feats. Their is an enclosed area for you to bring your dog so he/she can meet friends or make new ones. There are a few benches on the north end and seating areas along the east side of the park where you can capture amazing views of Biscayne Bay. You can also go jet-skiing (if you own one) in the Bay or rent a paddle boat if you want to brave the sometimes rough tide of the Bay. Overall a terrific location for anyone and everyone to enjoy a day away from the hustle and bustle of Miami's busy business world.

    One thing I love about US is their XXL parks which are beautifully designed by keeping in mind the needs of everyone. The whole circumference is a little short of 1k & I had one of the most amazing 5k runs early month. The sunrise was splendid. Totally worth it. God bless America!

  • 4/5 Nicholas G. 1 year ago on Google
    I love the park. It’s always busy but not too busy. It has a basketball court , volleyball courts , tennis and an outdoor gym (small though). There are two popular dog parks. One for small and one for larger breads. There is a mobile paddle board rental station which is neat and there are lots of bbq stations around to use. What I dislike is that there are still at night many homeless people sleeping in and around the park.

    I come to this place often and love energy in this area. Everyone is out there living their best life. It makes you want to do the same. They have a nice dog park where I take my Jack Russell all the time. I can join the yogis they always seem welcoming. I can kick butt at the volleyball court or bball court. The calisthenics area is like a gymnasium. Endless possibilities here. Time to soak up that sun and go hit some dips 😎💪🏽

    This park never disappoints. The views of Biscayne Bay along with the people you meet here is awesome. People watching and dog watching is spectacular along with the iguanas that have grown in abundance. Many people are here enjoying the park, exercising, playing with kids, walking their dog, or just out for a stroll.

    I absolutely love this park. I have many clients who own condos in 1800 club and every time I have to DJ show the condos I downs time watching all the doggies run around and just enjoying the bay view.

  • 5/5 Fabian 1 year ago on Google • 52 reviews
    Fabulous Park! Some dog owners seem not to understand that big dogs need to be observed at all times when off leash but other than that it is a great park to spend time. There are also little restaurants around.

  • 5/5 Jack T. 2 months ago on Google • 48 reviews New
    Great place to come with the dog. Access to the base for swimming and playing fetch and certainly the nicest dog park in the area. The dog area even has water for the pups.

  • 5/5 Dave L. 3 years ago on Google
    Another gem of Miami! My band played this venue just a week ago for the winter holidays. First live gig since Covid hit in March and what a gorgeous park - right on the bay. You can picnic here, play some basketball, walk or jog along the water, and even bring your pooch to the doggie park. This one is totally family friendly and a real beauty!

  • 5/5 Chad K. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park right on Biscayne Bay. Fun to watch the hub of activities on the water and in the park!

  • 5/5 PRLatinLuvly 3 years ago on Google
    This is an amazing area for walks, a romantic stroll or walking your pet. The ocean is a gorgeous view which you can actually touch. There's a sectioned out dog park for small and large dogs, which is extremely clean. The entire park is clean. It's a great place to relax or workout alone, with friends or family.

  • 5/5 Keisha S. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed this park. Plenty of seating options to look out at the water. I saw families, people walking their dogs, and cute dogs playing with each other. It seemed like if you were into fitness it was a good park as well because there is exercise equipment, and basketball and tennis courts. I also saw a fenced in playground for kids.

    Paddle boarding from this park was a charm. I highly recommend. Note: you don't have to bring your own paddle board as they have automated rentals at the location!

  • 4/5 Nadiia F. 1 year ago on Google
    I lived in this are a few years ago. It has definitely improved and developed a lot. You can find amazing food spots as well as dog areas, kids areas, fitness areas… YOU NAME IT! Very friendly park overall. My only complaint is that it kinda feels crowded now and people are trashing the park… such a shame. Overall still one of my favorite areas in Miami.

  • 5/5 SkyChaser H. 1 year ago on Google
    Charming green space to chill out or stretch your legs. Not many places to go and stay for free. Dog friendly. Workout area (be mindful of the scorching hot equipment), shaded children's play area. Can smell a little from the vegetation on the waters edge. Didn't see a parking lot.
