Morningside Park

Morningside Park is a city-run waterfront park at 750 NE 55th Terrace in Miami's Morningside neighborhood, on Biscayne Bay. It combines athletic fields, tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground with swings and slides, picnic tables, barbecue grills and public restrooms with walking paths and dog-friendly lawns.

A boat ramp gives small boats access to the bay, and the park has offered weekly kayak and paddleboard rentals. Admission is free, and the park is open daily from 7 AM to 9 PM.

Guests praise how quiet and peaceful it feels, with shaded stretches, good for walking a dog, shooting hoops, biking or a family picnic. One important thing to know: the shoreline is a construction zone.

The City of Miami is building a new 1,200-foot seawall and a 2,250-foot baywalk, with upgrades to the boat ramp, floating dock and parking, and the waterfront has been fenced off since December 2024. The western side of the park stays open.

Expect the water views and kayak launch to be limited until the work is finished.
