Matheson Hammock Park, Coastal park in Coral Gables, United States.
Matheson Hammock Park is a large coastal park in Coral Gables spanning over 600 acres along Biscayne Bay. The property combines mangrove forests, an artificial lagoon pool, and a working marina within a single waterfront setting.
Private land was donated in 1930 to establish what became Dade County's first park. Workers from the Civilian Conservation Corps built coral stone structures in 1936 that later survived numerous hurricanes.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed coral stone buildings in 1936, which remain standing after withstanding multiple hurricanes over decades.
The park offers boat ramps, floating docks, picnic areas, walking trails, and a restaurant for visitors. The grounds are accessible during operating hours with parking available for vehicles.
The artificial lagoon pool stays fresh through natural tidal movements from the bay, creating a protected swimming area. Visitors can enjoy the warm waters without worrying about rough waves or strong currents.
