Located in the suburban area of Kendall, the large Kendall Indian Hammocks Park is equal parts fun-filled family destination and revered natural habitat. Opened in 2011, this outdoor destination is an important tropical hardwood hammock in the heart of Greater Miami.

Things to Do

There is plenty to do at the lively Kendall Indian Hammocks Park with spaces for a wide range of activities. Sports lovers can take advantage of three lighted softball fields, a grassy soccer area, 36 holes of disc golf and a skate park, while nature aficionados can go birdwatching, wander down nature trails or explore the hardwood hammock and surrounding 32-acre nature preserve. If you want to exercise, head to the outdoor fitness zone – it has adjustable tension equipment for all ages and skill levels. There are also two family playgrounds, one for children five years of age and younger and another for children between the ages of five and 12.

A major feature of the park is the 14,000-square-foot skate park, which was inspired by iconic outdoor spaces like Love Park in Philadelphia and the Embarcadero in San Francisco. The Kendall skate park has multiple ramps, a vertical wall and grinding rails with obstacles designed for all levels of skaters. Shaded bleachers at the skate park provide a spot where curious onlookers can watch all the action.

Want to host a BBQ surrounded by the beauty of the park? There are five covered picnic shelters and one live oak-canopied picnic deck, each of which accommodates up to 100 people. All picnic areas come with at least nine tables, water, electricity and BBQ grills. They can be reserved on a first come, first served basis.
