Nestled along the banks of the Miami River, this remote, ten- acre park is eerily enticing. Strange artifacts leave you wondering what the designers had in mind. Concrete steps that seemingly belonged to the front porch of a house now lead to nothing; multicolor pillars stand erect on a slab of concrete; a sidewalk begins and ends in the middle of nowhere. Only the gently flowing river, the beautiful hammock, and the coconut palm clusters make sense. This is a wonderful place to sip iced tea and lounge on a hot summer afternoon.
This site marks the tropical garden area of property
purchased by General Samuel Crocker Lawrence (1832-1911) in 1897.
His land extended from the Miami River south to what is
now NW 7th Street, and approximately between NW 10th Avenue NW 18th Place.
