Setting a park date with your favorite running buddy should be easy-peasy in Tamiami since it's LITERALLY swarmed with parks and lush nature.

But, if you want to make it a "tree-lling" one, visit Tree Island Park, a 120-acre community park and the first of its kind right in Tamiami's rapidly growing residential area!

Jokes and puns aside, this massive nature spot is unmatched, thanks to its unique nature-centered outdoor recreation opportunities. 

In fact, its kiddie playground alone is at a whopping 4,666 square feet, offering slides, swings, steppers, spinners, a climbing net, and more!

To top it all off, Tree Island Park is surrounded by a natural preserve with 20 acres of native tree islands (hydric hammocks) and 50 acres of muhly grass (marl prairie), a habitat characteristic of Florida's East Everglades, native butterfly-attracting plants, live oaks, gumbo limbos, and wild tamarinds!

It's your "Disneyland" of nature right within Tamiami!
