City of West Miami - Edmund P. Cooper Park

Edmund P. Cooper Park is the City of West Miami's neighborhood park at 5751 SW 16th St, built around playgrounds, shaded picnic spots and open grass.

Families come for the swings, slides and children's play areas, while walkers and exercisers use the path around the perimeter and the outdoor exercise stations. Visitors mention a gazebo, hammocks, picnic tables, a small sandy area, water fountains, a basketball court and tennis courts.

Shade is a recurring highlight on hot days, and guests describe the park as quiet, clean and safe for children. Public restrooms are open on site, and the park is open daily from 6 AM to 8 PM.

Dogs are allowed according to listing details, although a posted rule discourages animals, so check the signage. The entrance and parking lot are wheelchair accessible.

The city also lists the park for rentals, which suits birthday parties and small gatherings. Admission is free, and early mornings and weekday late mornings are the calmest times to visit.
