This place is awesome. Parking is great around noon during the week. It has a nice trail to walk. There is a basketball court with four goals, more than enough. As far as taking photos, you will have a blast if you can capture an iguana or a nice colored lizard. There are a couple of great photo spots as well. I am sure a dog would love to be here. Also make sure you come and get some peace and quiet here whenever you’re in Kendall.
This is a 14.5 acre park located in Miami across from Killian High School named in honor of Ronald Ray Ehmann (1940-1975), a beloved coach of the Killian Cougars before his life ended tragically in a car accident at the age of only 34. Coach Ehmann was known for his love of sports, physical fitness, and the out doors. At Killian high school he was a biology and physical education teacher before taking over the P.E. Department. He championed his students and before his passing he accompanied six of Killian's most accomplished athletes to compete nationally in the Marine Corps Physical Fitness Test.
A unique feature of this park is that it has a walking trail through seven acres of a preserved pine rockland habitat which is only found on the limestone terrain in south Florida and the Bahamas. The only trees that live in this habitat are slash pines along with an understory of palms, shrubs, herbs. Pine rockland used to cover 180,000 acres of Miami Dad County but after development, only two percent are left in public parks and preserves.
During my walk through the preserve I spotted many Peter's rock agama lizards, an invasive species from Africa. They were first introduced to Florida in 1976 from the pet trade. Adult males have distinctive red heads and black bodies and can grow up to a foot long. Their range has been expanding and they are now found as far north as Jacksonville and as far south as Big Pine Key. Unfortunately they like to feast on Florida's endangered butterfly species like the Florida Leafwing and the gray Bartram's Hairstreak which also live in the pine rocklands. Scientists are currently studying the effect on the environment of these lizards and I was able to file an online report of my observations with the University of Georgia who is recording invasive species sightings.
In addition to the nature trail park amenities include a basketball court, soccer field, softball field, bike path, quiet resting place, playground, outdoor fitness equipment, recreation center, tennis center and six lighted tennis courts. Winter, spring, and summer camps are offered in the park along with tennis lessons. This park is a respite of nature in urban Miami. Come out and play, exercise, bird watch, or just to enjoy nature. The park is open every day from sunrise until sunset.
Babyshower on 08.20.22! The young that was there from the park very attentive and available at all times. The Manager is awesome! The location I n is suitable for any occasion. I HIGHLY recommend.
Plenty of parking on the north and east sides. FYI, the basketball courts do not have lights at night
No security in the parking area. Somebody broke my rear back car window stealing my purse. Other cars' windows were also broken.
Great nature walk through this Pine Rockland preserve
Nice little place,with tennis courts and softball field also you can rent a space for your party
It's a nice park with benches, playground, basketball court, and tennis court. It was nice however it's more of a walking park in a neighborhood so it's less "jungle" like if that makes sense. It was very quiet and only around 6 people and I went on a weekend.
Great playground for elementary school age kids. Park has mulch not sand, which is great to avoid pouring sand out of shoes after. Lots of shade trees. Has a large fields for casual team sports. Also has a closed in side walk which is safe for kids t
