Description

This beautiful park's centerpiece is the historic home of former Miami settler and naval architect, Ralph Middleton Munroe. Constructed in 1891, the house features period furnishings and wide-open porches that were used for comfortable gatherings and for sitting outside to enjoy the fresh air, beautiful wooded landscape, and views of Biscayne Bay. The site is a great place to wander and appreciate the historic roots of Miami, along with its stunning natural features such as Barnacle's tropical hardwood hammock, which represents the landscape of the "original" Miami. There are also various programs and events to enjoy here, from sunset Yoga by the Sea to Moonlight Concerts to Firefly Lawn Parties.
