Park Description
Bridge on walking trail is closed for construction until further notice
This 249-acre urban oasis was once the site of a rock quarry until the land was deeded to Dade County to become the third park in the newly formed county park system, opening to the public in 1936. Designated in 1983 as a historic site by the Miami-Dade County Historic Preservation Board and as a heritage site in 2004 by the Board of County Commissioners for its exceptional historic and archaeological significance, the park is most notable for the limestone rock structures built by the Civilian Conservation Corps., the Depression-era program responsible for the construction of many of the nation’s treasured national parks and state parks. The park offers areas for group picnics, two playgrounds, walking paths and trails, and opportunities for bird-watching with scenic views of the Oleta River. A fishing dock, canoe/kayak launch, and bark park are also available at East Greynolds Park, a short distance from the main park. Camp Greynolds features an overnight camping facility with cabins, bathhouse and mess hall available for scout groups, non-profit organizations, and other organized groups with advanced reservations.

In 1933, when the Miami-Dade County Parks department was first coming into fruition, the want and need for a park in the North end of the county was apparent. The land that would become Greynolds Park was acquired through swaps and donations, with the majority of it came from Mr. A.O. Greynolds, owner of the Ojus Rock Company. He donated 110 acres of his property in exchange for naming the park after him.
The park became Miami-Dade County’s second oldest park. Greynolds Park was officially dedicated in 1936 and gained immediate popularity. The park was popular amongst hippies during the 1960’s, where they converged to join “Love-ins” that featured musical acts. Today, the park pays homage with the annual Love-in event held in May.
