Evelyn Greer Park

Pretty park in pristine Pinecrest.
Yes, that is what comes to mind when I think of Evelyn Greer and the park that is down in Pinecrest, a incorporated part of Miami in the middle of the 90s. This area was somewhat of my old stomping ground as I grew up in Kendall, yet had never been to Evelyn Greer previously. Something I am glad has changed after this past weekend.
As always with parks and places in this neck of the woods, you enter a well trimmed and pristine area that is nicely fenced and gated for protection of families, children and all. There seems to be a little less parking than one would think is adequate, but turns out it is ample for the amount of people that would likely be visiting on a daily basis. There is a very nice round permanent structure to house many people and tables for food or games or gatherings; then there is also a more main, offices and walkway with enclosed-​outdoor restrooms with ample facilities.
The park has a walking track around it which offers great exercise options for folks who live close by, and yes, this is in a residential area so I would believe it would be well used for this. There are two baseball or softball fields I believe and a sizable area for either flag football, which our group this past weekend used it for, or other running or playing activities.
Then of course there is a very nicely kept playground and jungle gym area for the little kids. With nice and safe structures for climbing and having a cardio good time, the parents and guardians can sit back at a good close distance and feel that their youngsters are in a good place. So overall, with the event at hand we shared on this day at Evelyn Greer, I like the park and would love to come back and hopefully in some time in the future with little ones of our own.

What a nice clean park to hang out at. It is big enough for the kids to run wild, but small enough you can still keep your eyes on them. Good for all ages with the exercise track and open field. The playground is covered so that makes it nice on sunny days. Only down side is the mulch at the playground a rubber ground covering would be better.

Full Disclosure: I live within walking distance, so I may be a little biased… That said, this park is very well maintained, always has something going on, and is well suited for all ages. Ample parking, just off off US1, I mean, I can go on and on. Be sure to check with the town of Pinecrest often so that you don’t missed your favorite event.

This is a bug-​infested park with terrible employees. The vending machine took my money DO NOT USE THE VENDING MACHINE, and they never repaid me for the money they stole. Some old fellow who works here, yelled at my son and his friends for drawing smiley faces with chalk on the ground and told us to go to another park if they wanted to draw with chalk. I would never come here again and I recommend you to do the same thing.

Such a great park for kids of all ages, only down side is the parking (always full)!

Awesome Park. Very clean. I love bringing the kids here. The workers power wash the playground equipment all the time. I also workout here with Fit4mom 3 days a week.

Bathrooms have paper, picnic tables are for everyone, park has roof for the kids, beautiful soccer field & rental rooms for birthdays. What else can you ask for?

What a great park! The bathroom are clean plus you actually have soap & toilet paper. The vending machines have healthy than expected snacks. There is a large banquet style room available for parties.
Covered playground that is divided into 2 sections, one for children ages 2 – 5 and the other one is for 6+. There is some kind of mulch instead of sand which is nice.
An exercise track circles the parameter. The park is eco-​friendly and even offers has a machine that you can purchase sunblock.

It’s not as great as Coral Reef. The reason why I give it three stars is bcuz they have mulch down in the playground area instead of the rubber ground like Coral Reef so when it rains its a big mess! It is an ok park though and has a nice trail that’s opened and not covered by too many trees so u can see your kids.
Oh and pile on the mosquito repellent. They are HORRIBLE at this park!

Perfect park !
We have been coming here for a little over a year. I like it that the bathrooms actually have TP & soap! lol. Enormous room available indoor for birthday parties. Playground area is covered throughout (perfect for Miami weather, but could use some more benches around the playground), exercise tools around park, a walking/​running track. Would like some vending machines, with all the sports and things to do here dehydration is possible. There is 2 playgrounds: one for bigger kids and little toddler one. The best part about the playgrounds… they are right next to each other, so if you have more than one munchkin like me you won’t have to run from playground to playground to watch them.
Park is very special to me I met 2 of my sons friends moms here. Turns out 2 boys from my son’s school saw me at the playground and they both approached me. I walked over to the moms and it was love at first sight. We hit it off great, we still k.i.t., and love to have picnics at the park. There could have a little more parking specially with all the activities going on. Also, my son started playing t-​ball here 3 months ago and he is having a ball. I recommend this park to everybody. Have fun!

perfect playground for tots!

They host great community events here.
Recently we took our toddler of a daughter to Halloween here.
It was perfect. Instead of walking a whole neighborhood with traffic, you walk a jog circle. Local businesses had tents set up all along the circle and were passing out candy (yes, the cheap stuff) and promotion literature.
They had food (crêpe maker, cotton candy…) and they had a huge blow up slide.
Joey LOVED looking at all the other kids in their costumes.
And there is a playground (it is a park after all) to burn off that extra energy for the stroller bound little ones.
They do community events through out the year. I heard of something to do with Cancer around April.

We frequent this park on the weekends. It never seems planned, we just stop as we are driving by.
We don’t use the park to its fullest, as the covered play sets and swings are the only things that the baby uses. That and she has a strange affection for water fountains.
There is a walking/​running track with those exercise stations that would make an Ironman, well, leave. But for the layman I’m sure they’re nice. There are batting cages, baseball and soccer fields, a covered picnic area and more.
Most recently we went to the Halloween festival here. Coming in April will be another event to raise money for cancer.
Definitely a welcome, albeit dated by now, addition to the community.
