Founders Park

The best park for kids in aventura really amazing lot of swing slide a great place to run or workout baseball field soccer field water park for toddler really a must if you live in the area free for aventura resident

Great park for kids, families or even for your own self. I live a block away and usually walk with the stroller the smaller park across from Founders. The one across has a community garden and the bay. It’s more breezier and less crowded.

+ Dual park location featuring community garden and leisure sports park

+ Affordable children’s water park
+ Public restrooms
+ On-​duty staff in water park facilities
Founders Park was serene both in the community garden area and in the leisure sports park.
The community garden houses planter boxes assigned to members, who aim to grow flowers and vegetables. Additionally, it has a small walking path and seating area that overlooks the high-​rise condominiums and water way.
Across the street lay the leisure sports park with the following activities: track & field, tennis, baseball, and a children’s play & splash park.
The children focused areas offered security railing with a lock technology functional for adults with some sort of key fob. I loved that feature. The areas had a lot of sun protection to beat the heat.
The park had adult areas to lounge, picnic and play games on the large table tops surrounded shade– provided trees.
It’s a tranquil spot! Happy 20^th Year Anniversary City of Aventura.

Beautiful park, now that I has the splash pad it couldn’t b better specially during the heat of fl summer. They also added shades to the playground and they finally put a gate around the playground too so the kids can’t run to the parking lot, so its very safe now. Love this place

Absolutely beautiful park. Founder’s Park has something for everyone. Entry is free for Aventura residents but for nonresidents daypasses are $ 5 for adults and $ 3 for children. Entry to the splash pad is an additional $ 10 for nonresidents and once again, free for residents.
The splash pad is perfect for kids to cool down and splash around. It has a large covered sitting area so the adults can relax in the shade while keeping an eye on the little ones.
The playground area is full of awesome stuff for kids to climb on. Basically every cool jungle gym setup I’ve ever seen are all in one place. There is also a shaded gazebo in the middle so the adults can relax and still keep an eye on the kiddos.
There are tennis courts, a baseball field with full dugouts, and a large field for whatever use you like. Netted soccer goals are available for use too. I particularly enjoy the running path with workout stations. They have 4 workout stations which have a few pretty dynamic setups. Don’t forget to stay hydrated at the water fountain by the restrooms.

FARMERS MARKET SUNDAY
Across from the playground there is a Sunday Farmers market! Fresh from the chicken eggs with double yolks! I also tasted fresh lychee’s but they call them Rambatan and there’s something else called Mamonnes lots of fresh fruit, fish and some pastries here. It’s so convenient. Nice orchid selection also

Great place!!! Finallly gated it in! My kids love it. One of our favorite parks to go too and love the splash pad too

Great place to take the kids, this is just walking distance from home and a great option as aventura residents. There is a big grass area for kids to play plus the kiddy park. It has lots of shade and is very clean.

This a great place to take young kids. There are swings, slides, monkey bars and more. It does cost money for nonresidents; $ 5 for adults and $ 3 for kids, but definitely worth it.
They have decent bathroom facilities and enough things to do there to keep your kids busy. Best for ages 3 – 10. We will definitely be back.

This park is nice & very close to our apartment. I like the idea of the updated play area, but it was obviously designed WITHOUT young todlers in mind at all. I’m always afraid my not-​quite 2 year old will fall. Other than that it’s a good park.
Love the splash pad (so does my son), and its nice to have a big round walking trail for those times you want to run or stroll (the side across the street is peaceful & clean).
Staff is plesant enough, but gets only 4 stars for the oversight of play equipment for kiddies under 3. if your kid is more dexterious & older, they will love it.
It seems to be the «nanny» spot, and can get crowded also…
But thats not the facilites fault.

No moms dressed for the club or the pole at this park! Everyone was very friendly and the children we well-​behaved. One little boy had a stick, but he didn’t try to smack anyone with it or anything. :0) New playground has plenty of equipment to accomdodate a large number of children, but park was MUCH less crowded than Waterways. Sprinkler park is closed for the season. The Sprinkler park rules say «no thongs allowed» so the park shouldn’t get all skank-​i-​fied during the summer. Very family friendly park.

Our 3 year old daughter loves it here. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
There is a spanking brand new playground.
And it’s mostly residents only, so it does not get too crowded. Somewhat of an enclave, not too far from the mall.

Possibly the only park where you will see a mom dressed in something I would wear out to dinner, long flowing dress, complete with high heels and a Chanel purse in one hand… and a juice box in the other.
I spent the most part of a Saturday afternoon in this park at a birthday party for a seven year old kid. I’ve passed it many many times and back when it opened first and I lived in Aventura proper, I used to take my son here to play.
For the size of it there is a lot going on and in that respect it is a true city park.
There are lots of shady benches scattered throughout where you can sit and read in relative quiet (there are two busy roads on two sides of the park though)
The playground area is great with two playgrounds, one for toddlers and tots which has a great big canopy covering it from the brutal hot Miami sun. The other half is more for the older kids with lots of climbing structures. The ground is sand and it looks like lots of the regulars bring sand toys.
Oh and swings. Lots of swings. Yay swings. Who doesn’t love them?
It also has two picnic tables under a gazebo between the two tables which is great for moms and nannies to bring along a picnic or snacks.
A relatively new splash pad is a great addition. It’s open from noon until 7p.m. or dusk. But the catch is that it costs $ 10 per person for non-​residents. But residents can bring a guest for free.
It’s got a baseball field, soccer/​game field. Two tennis courts ($ 4/​hr for non residents). It also has a fitness circuit.
The restrooms are plentiful and well stocked and have a baby changing table.
The staff I met a the gate were awesome. Nice and friendly and knew the regulars and stopped to chat with them.

Founders Park has something for almost everyone. A sprinkler park, baseball/​softball diamond, tennis courts and a really nice playground. The playground equipment goes from infants up to eight years old. We held my son’s Miami birthday party here and the kids had a ball. I imagine when the sprinklers park is open FP gets very busy. The only downside is that it costs $ 5 for guests and you are only allowed access with an Aventura resident.
