Maurice A. Ferré Park

Maurice A. Ferré Park is a 30-acre waterfront park at 1075 Biscayne Blvd in Downtown Miami, open daily and free to enter.

It sits on the old Port of Miami dock slips, first opened as Bicentennial Park in 1976 and reopened in 2014 as Museum Park, then renamed in 2019 for Miami's first Hispanic mayor. The Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science open directly onto its lawns, so many visitors pair a museum stop with a bayside stroll.

The park's best-known draw is the Dogs & Cats Walkway & Sculpture Gardens, a path lined with colorful pop-art dog and cat sculptures, alongside other public art such as the 20-foot bronze Flora la Recogedora de Sueños. Paved paths serve walkers, runners and cyclists, with benches, restrooms, a playground, a dog park and open lawns for picnics.

Views run across Biscayne Bay to the downtown skyline and the yachts moored nearby. The park also hosts community events, including the Give Miami 5K and the Family Style Festival.

Metromover's Museum Park station is steps away, and parking is paid.
