Matheson Hammock Park, Coastal park in Coral Gables, United States.
The 630-acre park contains mangrove forests, an artificial atoll pool, and a marina along the shores of Biscayne Bay.
William J. Matheson donated 80 acres to create Dade County's first park in 1930, with landscape architect William Lyman Phillips directing the design.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed coral stone buildings in 1936, which remain standing after withstanding multiple hurricanes over decades.
Visitors can access boat ramps, floating docks, picnic pavilions, nature trails, and a restaurant while paying entrance fees between $5 and $7 per vehicle.
The artificial atoll pool naturally refreshes through tidal movements from Biscayne Bay, creating a protected swimming area with warm waters.
