Amelia Earhart Park, Urban park in Hialeah, Florida.
Amelia Earhart Park is a 515-acre regional park in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, just north of Hialeah. It has 8 miles of single-track and fire-road bike trails, an 18-hole disc golf course, a 5-acre fenced dog park, and the Bill Graham Farm Village with a petting zoo and insect museum.
The park occupies the southern undeveloped half of the former Naval Air Station Miami. Community leaders, including dairy farmer and Miami Lakes developer Bill Graham, lobbied the federal government to grant Dade County this land for a regional park. The rest of the southern air station land was auctioned to private developers. The park is named after Amelia Earhart, whose 1937 round-the-world flight left from Miami Municipal Airport, renamed Amelia Earhart Field in October 1947.
The Bill Graham Farm Village demonstrates traditional farming with cow milking and horseshoeing, keeping the region's agricultural heritage visible to visitors.
