Bayfront park in Miami

What to see in Bayfront Park

Bayfront Park in Miami was designed by the talented American architect W. G. Manning. Construction lasted about a year. And then it was modernized according to the project of the already Japanese artist-modernist and at the same time landscape architect and designer Isamu Noguchi.

The square was officially opened since March 1925. Bayfront Park occupies a vast territory of 13 hectares and is located on the banks of Biscayne Bay in the city of Miami (Florida). On the north side, the border runs to the Bayside Marketplace and American Airlines Arena, from the west to Biscayne Boulevard.

And, since the park is located almost in the heart of Miami, all major city holidays are held on its territory: Independence Day, Christmas and almost all ethnic festivals and concert events in Miami.

The park primarily serves as the largest public park in Miami. It houses the Tina Hills Pavilion — an open-air area with a capacity of about 1000 people: 200 seats and 800 standing on the lawn, which is built for press conferences, concerts and social events.

For more people, the Klipsch Amphitheater (until 2011 the Bayfront Amphitheater) is used, which seats about 10,000 people: 2,700 seats on benches and 7,300 on the lawn.

There are many other attractions in the park that deserve attention and admiration. Here is the historic Challenger disaster monument. It happened in 1986 of the last century and claimed the lives of the entire crew of seven. This happened after a powerful explosion 72 seconds after the shuttle took off. The monument is a snow-white thirty-meter tower with a metal pipe structure.

Things to do in Bayfront Park

Miami Bayfront Park is an excellent place to escape from the hustle and bustle. The measured pace of life, original culture and a refreshing breeze restore moral strength and contribute to social development.

The family center of the same name in the park provides the opportunity to play traditional games such as golf and volleyball, and use recreational equipment for free. It is even possible to recall childhood and fly a kite. You can have lunch, a snack or just chat over a cup of coffee in the area where there are cafes and restaurants.

On some days, if you bring a rug with you, you can attend yoga classes. You can also go on a boat excursion and get acquainted with a lot of facts about the delightful Miami and the park itself. Or take a walk along the promenade, enjoying not only a magnificent view of the city port, but also breathing in the clear ocean air.

With any luck, you can watch ships from all over the world approach the harbor of the drawbridge and the cruise port of Miami.

You can just take a walk and be inspired by the atmosphere of Downtown Miami, see the trinkets at Bayside Market, rent a scooter and ride along the neighboring streets.
