Review & FAQ:

The Matheson Hammock Park is a picturesque 630-acre park in the heart of metropolitan Miami that surrounds the north and western ends of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden and offers an array of amenities for the whole family to enjoy. The park features a human-made tidal pool, which is flushed naturally with the tidal action of the sea water from Biscayne Bay, several nature trails and picnic pavilions and a historic coral stone building that houses a snack bar and a restaurant. An on-site marina has boat launch ramps, a fishing tackle shop, refueling facilities, and wet slips, and can accommodate vessels of up to 50 feet.
