Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Not to be confused with Lummus Park in Miami Beach, this Lummus Park is located in Downtown Miami. The Miami River Borders the West Side. The massive, ancient, Roman looking Scottish Rite Mason Temple Borders the North Side, and I-95 and the Hi-rises of urban Downtown Miami border the East Side. This is one of Miami's oldest parks and has been opened since the early 1900's. In addition to a playground, walking/jogging paths, and green areas for recreation there are horse stables with at least 1 live horse I observed in a corral. Most fascinating is the historical architecture within the park. You can view the preserved stone barracks of Fort Dallas, which served as slave quarters in the 1800's. You can also view another piece of architecture from the 1800's located in the park, known as the Wagner House. This is the oldest surviving house in Miami. Walking through this park is like stepping back in time, especially since there is informative signage with descriptions of each location. There are beautiful ancient oak trees in this park, but not a lot of native wildlife was observed, just one gray squirrel. Parking is free, but sadly there are only 3 spots. If those are taken, you will have to feed the meters that border the park. We will return, and let others know about this hidden historical park.

Lummus Park is a historical landmark in Miami. Created in 1909, it was one of the first open spaces in the city. It is named in the National Register of Historical Places.
The park is open to the public and is free. There is a full basketball court for teens and adults. It is located a short distance from the Miami River. It is also home to the old Scottish Rite Temple and is still used for small concerts, demonstrations, and ceremonies. The City of Miami Mounted Police Stables are located there, and you will see the horses bring exercised every week as you drive by.
Tip: it is best and safest to visit by daytime.
Do not mix this park.up with Lummus Psrk in Miami Beach. Two different parks and locationd.

Safe, near to the shops and restaurants and near to the beach. Clean and tidy and lots of amenities including free public toilets (that are clean).

This is a beautiful park right across the street from the classic art deco hotels and restaurants on Ocean Avenue. Lots of shade and areas to simply relax and read if you'd like to. We saw a bunch of dogs on leashes running and strolling along with their owners. If you like beach volleyball, there were literally dozens of courts set up, I couldn't even tell you how many there were, a lot. This is a very bike friendly park as well and you can walk right out to the beach from the park.
Really nice place to relax or enjoy some volleyball in South Beach.

It's hard to believe that developers of Miami Beach had foresight to preserve Lummus Park--so that it didn't end up as just another series of grand hotels on the ocean. Fabulous, wide, flat beach is meticulously maintained by the City as well as the hotels. Great people watching: skate-boarders, super-models, families, lovers, many languages spoken. Rent bikes right there. The Art Deco District Museum is also there. If you want the largest, most colorful and expensive cocktail you've ever seen, there are plenty of bars across the street who will accommodate your desire. Got to visit this place or you have not really seen Miami Beach.

Liked the bike ride and beach but the sidewalks near hotel's needed to be cleaned up a bit....but otherwise, the beach biking was lots of fun!
