Great paved trails for rollerblading or jogging. Scenic, with the Mangroves (watch out for the Saltie that sometimes shows up in the pond. Crocodiles aren't as nice as alligators.) and the bay is beautiful. There is a dog park, one of the first official dog parks in Miami. The paved trail leads you out of the park into Coconut Grove downtown, or north towards Key Biscayne. Also, you've got AC's Icees in the parking lot (See review of AC's.) to cool you off on a hot day or fill you up with a Sabrett's Hot Dog. This park is strikingly clean, too, for a Miami park, but also for being so close to Downtown CoGrove.
There is a playground area on the south side of the park, and there are trees that provide great shade for picnics.
You'll see locals playing volleyball on the sand courts...
