The Women’s Park
Rather than being named after a singular woman who has impacted the history and state of Miami, the Women’s Park pays homage to the endless contributions of yesterday, today, and tomorrow’s South Floridian females. The Women’s Park has two playgrounds, a walking path and a picnic shelter/pavilion that can be reserved on a first come, first served basis. The park hosts regular educational classes, workshops and camps for women of all ages. It is the Women’s Park which is one of the best parks in Miami.
Greeting visitors with a sculptured gate and fence designed by artist Lydia Rubio, which was created in partnership with the Miami-Dade Art and Public Places program, the park bears the name of many women who have had an impact on the city’s development. Historical bonus: A time capsule buried under the oolite limestone in the park at its inauguration in 1992 is set to be opened this year, revealing the zeitgeist of the city at the time of its creation. It opens daily 7 a.m. to sunset.
