Greynolds Park is a 265-acre (1.07 km2) urban park in metropolitan Miami, just north of North Miami Beach, Florida, United States.
History [edit]
In 1933 A. O. Greynolds donated to the tract of land, originally used as a limestone quarry, to Dade County.[1] The park was developed between 1936 and 1939 by the Civilian Conservation Corps as a part of the New Deal public works program.[2]
Facilities [edit]
The park offers various amenities, including picnic and recreation areas, golf course, a bird rookery, and a 42-foot (13 m) mound, the highest point in South Florida.
The boathouse features a nature exhibit and offers interpretive programs including guided nature walks, lectures, campfires and more. Kayak, canoe and paddleboat rentals are available on the weekends and holidays.
