Miami Rowing Center

I really like the staff, facilities and location at MRC but feel they need to up the safety aspect of their LTR Classes for individuals you have never done it before. I took the LTR class back in 2013, i believe, and have recently observed another LTR class in Dallas Tx. A world of difference. They required a swim test signed off by certified lifeguard, required a flip test at the end of the class as well as viewed a mandatory safety video. I didn’t perform any of those requirements during the Miami Rowing LTR class nor did I learn the rules of the water. Apparently all are required by the US Water sport and rowing organization. I learned so much more and felt better prepared on the water after observing the new class in Dallas. This was all done just to row on a small lake. Given that there are many more possible dangers in the ocean, I urge to make sure you are fully educated before rowing on your own. There were numerous times rowing at MRC with high speed boats or jet ski’s racing thru.

I attended the free family fun day here on a Sunday in November. The facility was promoting itself and its summer camp/​winter camp. The winter camp opens for campers at 730 am and goes till 530. As a working woman I appreciate the early hours. I was surprised and impressed by this park. This is a city of Miami park that has a partnership with the rowing club. This is such a cool city park! The center of the park is a heated pool with some sort of inflatable climbing structure. there is also a sandy beach with amazing views of downtown. On family fun day they had kayaks, stand up paddles, sailboats, and fishing poles. But Im under the impression that they don’t always have all that equipment available. However if you are looking for a pool in a beautiful location then this is the place. There is a two story structure that is rented out for events, this would be a great place for a party!

I am staying middle of the road since this is one of the City of Miami Park facilities which I work for that department.
Just want to put the word out there that this facility offers a great rental potential for those who want to have an event but can’t afford an expensive location. There is a huge room with wooden rafter ceilings, dance floor, comes with round tables with chairs and sits up to 100 people. You can bring in a caterer and can arrange through the process for permission to serve liquor.
The room is large, open and has an attached upper deck that looks out over water and offers a view of the Biscayne Bay.
This would be a great location of a wedding reception, bridal shower, retirement party etc. The price is affordable since it is a government owned property. I will try and load additional photos showing the room and potential
