Amelia Earhart Park

This might be one of the best parks in the city and the only reason I’m giving them 4 stars is because of the actual location. Hialeah is not my favorite place to hang out in but this park is worth the drive. The park itself is huge and it truly has so many different options for outdoor lovers. From the usual walking and running trails and picnic tables to more advance and unique options like water boarding and advance bike trails. I also love that because of the size of the park they host a lot of different fitness events. Again from simple 5Ks to my latest Battle Frog Race. Honestly, what a beautiful place to walk, run and swim through.

OK, so I have been here enough to give it a solid 4 star rating. Its a park that has awesome trails for hiking and biking, Frisbee golf, petting zoo, playground and it has a brand new cable wake-​boarding facility that looks pretty awesome too. Im sure I missed a whole bunch of stuff but they have something for everyone. Lots of space to roam and be active, or shady areas to be lazy. Ive done a lot of obstacle races here lately too, which is always fun too. Its easy to find, but since Hialeah uses their own numbering system for streets, you may get lost. haha…

Love the dog park… Has a section for small dogs and a section for large dogs. There’s a doggie water fountain and they have baggies to pick up after your dog. There are benches and picnic tables as well.

Amelia Earhart park is huge, and has a variety of options. There is a great mountain bike trail, complete with jumps, tunnels, bridges, and wooded trails. There is a small country themed area with a petting zoo, barn, tractors, and a pond.
The park has paddle boats and bikes for rent, and plenty of gazebo structures for a great BBQ. The large lake has a mechanized system to pull you around on a wakeboard! The lake has jumps for someone seeking a little adrenaline on the boards. It’s spacious, clean, and one of the best parks I’ve found in Miami dade. Definitely worth visiting

I am making a review on Bark Park. I went there for the first time two days ago and must say that I liked it. I went around 7 and there were many dogs there. People were friendly as well. One thing I would like to see is a water fountain for the small dog area.

The petting zoo here is great. Most petting zoos keep u a bit removed from the animals. At Amelia they let you loose in a huge barnyard full of 50 goats, a few sheep and a huge half ton pig. It’s amusing to hear the shrieks of delight and a little bit of terror as people feed the goats the little nuggets you buy for spare change. As the sign states, the goats will jump. Nearby, the playground on the little island is really nice and new with a rubber floor. Slides, swings, giant rocks, tunnels and shade. A great stop on Hialeah with lots of other fun things I didn’t mention like fishing lakes, wild birds, pony rides, barbeque grills, a big dog park, and rental bikes.

I grew up here! This is my childhood and will always be! Its a nice place, i do think it needs a little reno, some new playground for kids maybe, the dog park should have more things, other than that it’s a good place!

My kids loves the playground. There is a farmers market on every sunday and admission free!(if you use another entrance towards farmers market)

Who knew Amelia Earhart’s plane departed from here on her fatal trip around the world ! Hence the name! More over, who knew this park contain a replica farm with a petting zoo! Apparently every local in Miami, but myself who’s only lived in Miami Beach 7 years now. I was so pleasantly surprised upon my first visit here, I wasn’t expecting to find a park this nice in Hialeah. There are many nice paths to walk, and beautiful pond near the farm area that makes for amazing view at sunset time. It would be deserving for a full 5 stars if it were a bit more well kept and less trash laying about, although I’m sure all this is due to the heavy traffic as there were people everywhere.

2 years we have held the Unilocal dysfunctional family picnic here. Excellent both times. The shelters are large and clean, and lots of space between them, so little Billy’s birthday party doesn’t get disrupted by the drunks next door (whistling innocently). They also have dog areas, mountain biking, wake boarding and much more.

I’m here for DFP 2015… So far, I’m having a great time. I’m 1 beer, 3 Jello shots and one Coconut Cream shot…

Love this dog park. My two dogs run freely and there’s always plenty of dogs here. Well kept and the local dog owners who come here are very social and warm. We drive the distance to come here. Much enjoyed

This is a really nice dog park. The entrance has a back to back gate, so as to help prevent any escaped canine convicts.:-) I totally love the fact that it is inside a park. Just in the rare case that a dog were to escape, it would still be in a fairly safe area.

One of the best places for mountain biking. The trails are challenging enough for every skill level from beginner to expert. They have plenty of grounds and gazebos for bar b q with the family or friends. They are also working on a water ski complete with inclines and other challenges. This park also has soccer and disc golf. It’s a great park for mountain biking and hanging out with friends and it’s free that is why it gets five stars from me

This park is not the greatest. The tunnels and playground for the dogs are extremely old and worn out. Considering the fact that you have to pay to even get into this park, I expected a much bigger space for dogs to run around and a much nicer looking one, to say the least.

Great place! But I do have to admit this is my first dog park so there’s not much to compare it on.
But some things to go on: very clean, friendly dogs and owners. Love the separation between the big and small dog, obstacles and dog foundations.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to take their pup!

My dog absolutely loves this park because:
–He gets to play with so many other dogs
–there’s a lot of running room
–and many obstacles to run through
I always come on a Friday evening so that I won’t have to pay the parking fee. My dog gets a great workout in.

Esta bonito un lugar tranquilo buen espacio pienso que se podría aprovechar un poco mas el espacio y mejorar el tema de la comida se vende.

I mean seriously, how can anyone give this park a negative review? I know, bad things do happen. I will focus on the park itself, though. It is a great well manicured park that I saw evolve from one of the original landing strips into the City of Miami. Amelia Earhart flew out of here. Hence, the name. Two Hialeah High School Students were murdered here after it became an isolated forest where young men and women would go to get their «freak-​on.» So much history from here.
For a while we were all sure this was going to become more concrete to house Humans. Luckily, that wasn’t an option by the right peoples in power.
Things to keep in mind:
* Parking — As of today, it is $ 6.00 to park your vehicle. Only cash is accepted at the front gate. It is free between Mondays and Fridays.
* Pavilions — Must be rented in advance and when I say «in advance» I mean way before your scheduled outing. They range in size depending on the number of guests you are expecting for your party.
* Grills — I am not sure if this is provided at all pavilions. Ask before you rent.
* Power/​Water — I am not sure if this is provided at all pavilions. Ask before you rent.
* Dogs — This park is VERY dog friendly and even has a fairly new fenced five acre area just for dogs. Be nice, pick-​up your dog’s fresh hot turd.
* Bicycles — Bring them if you have them. Many nice trails to explore. Wearing a helmet is enforced here. Rentals are also available here for things, i.e., canoeing, kayaking, etc. Wearing a helmet is enforced here if you are seen without one or if you are renting one of theirs.
* Petting Zoo — It entertains the children and provides a nice history of the park/​Hialeah. It’s actually a recreated farm from the old pioneering days in Hialeah. For some reason, this isn’t always open to the public. It is hit or miss.
* Website — Their website stinks. You are better off calling for any information.
Don’t be a pig. Clean-​up after yourselves if you come here. This park is large and has an history behind it. The only thing I wish is, that they planted more trees. You won’t be disappointed choosing this park for your Event. Very unexpected around here.

Lo único que les voy a decir en español, no sean unos puercos y mantengan el parque limpio. Graci

This is a great park. Until this past weekend I had never been nor heard of it (I know, right?), but I’m so glad I went because I definitely want to go back.
The park is huge, making it seemingly easy to get lost in if you’re a newbie like myself. Not to worry, the sights are pretty so it takes away from driving in the wrong direction.
Remember to bring cash with you. It’ll cost you $ 6.00 to get in. A small price to pay in order to keep your parks beautiful.
The pavilions are large and in great shape.
The bathrooms are clean. Who would have ever have guessed that? They don’t make you crawl out of your skin when you walk in.
Did I say the park is beautiful? It could use a few more trees here and there but overall, c’mon, it’s great. It’s such a great place to go when you feel like getting out of Miami and experiencing something else.

What a beautiful park. This was my first time here and when we pulled in I could not get over how large and gorgeous this park is. We had rented a shelter for the day for our Dysfunctional Family Picnic and George M. Had told us to try and get shelter 6. The shelter could not have been in a more perfect spot. Surrounded by two large ponds, ducks on the grass area, very close parking and right next to the restrooms. And they were so clean!
We rented a bike that everyone seemed to enjoy, thanks AC and David for going and getting it. This park has so much to offer. Bike trails, remote controlled boats, an amazing large dog park and so much more that I did not get a chance to see.
The shelter had a large double grill and electricity. I only wished they would have picked up trash throughout the day. Luckily I had brought large heavy duty trash bags but when it had ended I felt very sorry for the park guy who came to pick it all up. We had a lot of trash!
This was such a fabulous place to have our picnic and I can’t wait to return to this very lovely park. Hialeah, wow!!! I fell in love with this park that is so well maintained and you let us enjoy our lovely day with NO issues.
See you again! Thank you.
Huge shout out to Tom W. The father of the first ever DFP. He is the one who started this awesome tradition and every single year a huge contributor. Thank you Tom and the ever lovely Vanessa for making this event ever so special. Family love!
