Tamiami Park, Urban recreational park in Miami-Dade County, US.
Tamiami Park is a spacious recreational facility with various sports amenities including baseball fields, basketball courts, soccer fields, and tennis courts. The grounds also feature a solar-heated swimming pool built in the 1970s for year-round use.
The park developed in the late 1960s on the site of the former Tamiami Airport, which had to relocate due to flight paths from Miami International Airport. Converting the airfield into a recreation space marked a significant shift in how the land served the community.
The Fair Expo Center here hosts the annual Miami-Dade County Fair & Exposition, where residents gather for celebrations and local events. The space functions as a community gathering point for shared traditions and activities.
The park opens daily from sunrise to sunset and offers swimming programs year-round. Visitors should bring water and sun protection, especially for extended stays.
The grounds hosted a CART racing series from 1985 to 1988 as part of the Grand Prix of Miami. This temporary transformation of the park into a racing circuit was an unusual chapter in the location's story.
