Bayfront Park

Bayfront Park is part of the original and first park of Miami, Florida. It was owned by the Florida East Coast Railway. The actual park construction began in the 1920s. 62.5 acres were allotted to the park in order to make walkways, lawn area, and other amenities as part of the park. Piers for yachts and other boats were built, all so that individuals would have a place to go and enjoy the water as well as the beach.

A band shell was constructed on the premises for live theater performances and musical concerts. The shell still stands and is used each year to help bring entertainment to those wishing to attend. Some of the original park facilities like a library have been torn down during renovation of the park. The park acreage is still the same and entry into the park is free. The concerts are subject to fees. The park is also a great spot for seeing the 4th of July fireworks out over the Atlantic Ocean.

Free yoga classes, self defense, and more classes are offered at the park. They even have a flying trapeze school on the premises for those who want to learn about the circus and become a performer.
