Margaret Pace Park, Arts District of Miami
This eight-acre waterfront park is beautiful, spacious,
lively, and welcoming. Located at 1745 North Bayshore Drive, (adjacent to the
Doubletree Grand Hotel on the Bay between 17th and 19th Streets), it's sure to become a hot-spot for active
Miamians, and for those who like to stroll along and enjoy a picture-perfect
day by Biscayne Bay.
Just north of the east-bound entrance to the Venetian
Causeway is a living, lush example of urban planning at its finest. In the
midst of towering condo high-rises, Margaret Pace Park is an eight-acre haven whose
volleyball, tennis, and basketball courts; soccer fields; outdoor gym; running
paths; covered playground; and eye-catching artistic elements stretch right out
to an expanse of sparkling blue water. Load your basket with watermelon slices,
sandwiches, and salads and take your pick of one of the handy picnic tables or
a cozy plot on the grass. (Tip: Check your landing zone if you choose the
latter option — some of the dog owners who frequent the park are less than
considerate about poop scooping.) The on-site restrooms are easy to find and
usually reasonably appointed. The only difficulty you might have is prying your
kids' white-knuckled fists off the playground equipment when your alfresco
dining is over. You might also find it hard to give up your noble status after
you settle into one of the colorful mosaic "thrones" by the water.
Don't forget to pack a Frisbee or football — there's plenty of field to spread
out on, although chances are you'll have to share. There's always a lot of
activity at this idyllic, eclectic city park.
