Greynolds Park Mangrove and Hammock Trails

The Greynolds Park Mangrove and Hammock Trails are about 1 mile (1.6 km) of paved and natural paths at Greynolds Park, 17530 W Dixie Hwy in North Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County, Florida. The paths pass by the park's lagoon, mangroves, and the Indian Mound, a small raised feature in the park's historic landscape. The park is about 30 minutes by car or rideshare north of downtown Miami, and parking details and any fees should be confirmed with Miami-Dade County Parks. The park phone number is 305-945-3425. No permit is needed for walking the trails. The terrain is essentially flat, with under 10 ft (3 m) of elevation change, so the route is easy and takes about 30-60 minutes. The surface combines paved path with dirt and natural stretches, and shade comes from hardwood trees and mangroves, with more open sun along the lagoon edge. Walkers see mangrove thickets, hardwood hammock, wading birds, and views across the lagoon, along with the park's picnic areas and open lawns. Because the route is short, turn-around points are flexible, and visitors can walk a single loop or combine sections. Restrooms and water are usually available near the main picnic and parking areas, but not on the more natural parts of the trails. Mosquitoes can be heavy near the mangroves, especially from May to October, so repellent is advisable. The park is popular with families and picnickers on weekends, and quieter on weekday mornings.
