    Tropical Park, developed on the site of a former horse track in 1979, attracts approximately 1,000,000 visitors annually. Visitors can enjoy bicycling, walking or running on the miles of paved pathways.  Visitors can shape up on our fitness court or at our boxing center.

    Tropical Stadium is home to our nationally recognized Miami-Dade Track and Field Team. The stadium has hosted prestigious national track and field meets such as the Junior Olympics and USA National Track and Field Championships. A walking club has also been created for visitors of all ages.

    Tropical’s Equestrian Center hosts over thirty horse shows annually, including international shows.  Athletes can play tennis, racquetball, basketball, soccer or join one of our popular softball leagues. From football games in the stadium to special events, to boating on one of our four lakes, Tropical Park has something for everyone.

    The new two-acre dog park is divided into two areas, one for larger dogs weighing over 35 pounds and one for smaller dogs weighing less than 35 pounds. Both areas feature play equipment, such as a tire jump, window jump, king-of-the-hill ramp, dog walk and others.  The dog park also features dog comfort stations with doggy drinking fountains and water sprays, pooper scoopers to keep the areas clean, and a shade structure that overlaps both sides. The park includes a new promenade overlooking the lake, park benches along the promenade, new shade and flowering trees throughout, and a common area for dog owners with water fountains and an informational kiosk.   A walkway connects all areas of the dog park and makes it ADA accessible.
