Tropical Park is an almost 300-acre park in southwest Miami-Dade county that once served as a horse track.  It was transformed into a county park back in 1979.  This huge, diverse park offers everything from football games, world class equestrian shows, community center, a boxing program to the unique Santa's Enchanted Forest carnival.  Tropical Park has the standard leisure amenities like bicycling, walking or running on the miles of paved pathways.  You can also take out a paddle boat and explore the boating lake.  Bring out your fishing rods and fish on their fully-stocked freshwater lake filled with bass, catfish and bluegill.  Come and enjoy your favorite recreation with friends and family including tennis, cycling, racquetball, fitness court, basketball, soccer or join one of the many softball leagues.

Tropical Stadium is home to the Miami-Dade Track and Field Team and hosts national track and field meets such as the Junior Olympics and USA National Track and Field Championships.  The stadium is a popular venue for special events as well as school football games. 

Dog Park.  The Tropical Park dog park consists of a two-acre fenced area divided into two parts.  Dogs that weigh over 35 pounds can frolick in one area and all smaller dogs can cavort in another.  To be fair and equal, both areas feature play equipment such as tire jumps, window jumps, king-of-the-hill ramps, and other fun doggie recreation.  After a bit of hard play, your pup can get some refreshment and cool off at the dog comfort stations featuring doggy drinking fountains and water sprays.  Help keep the dog park clean by using the pooper scoopers provided by the park.   A walkway connects all areas of the dog park and makes it ADA accessible.

The Southwest Community Farmers' Market appears in the park every Saturday from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm year-round.   It can be found just inside the Bird Road entrance and to the right.  This farmer's market was nominated as one of the best farmer's markets in South Florida.  Come with an empty tummy and your reusable bags.  Enjoy fresh produce, herbs, jams, local eggs, pickles, sauces, breads, pastries, live plants, fresh juices, natural beverages, local honey & more.
