Sewell Park

6.6Locals Score / 10

#9 of 19 Parks & Outdoors in Miami

Known forparkmiami riverplaygroundpicnic
Directions

A shaded riverside park along the Miami River with open green space, two playgrounds packed with climbing bars, slides, swings, a merry-go-round, and musical play equipment, plus picnic tables and grills where you can watch the 17th Ave bridge rise for passing ships. Feral cats, ducks, and roosters roam freely, and you may catch Santeros practicing rituals — it has a distinctly raw, old-Miami character. The nature reserve/gardens are currently locked, the kayak launch is blocked off, and some sections flood after rain; parking is limited to roughly 10 free spots.
