The City of Hialeah Gardens Parks and Recreation Department’s
mission is providing and maintaining open spaces for safe and organized
activities to the residents of The City of Hialeah Gardens.
The Parks and Recreation Department offers recreational services
to its residents in four main park facilities plus several smaller
neighborhood parks. Our primary location, Westland Gardens Park,
is currently being renovated and new facilities added. Residents
may rent, for a modest cost, indoor and outdoor facilities for family
celebrations. They can also play tennis and basketball on our newly
built courts, swim in the recently refurbished heated swimming pool,
watch high school baseball games in our professional sized baseball
field, or let their children play in our large, well-equipped playground.
The Park boasts an ongoing child’s baseball league, swim team,
tennis and dance classes, YMCA summer program, and Neko-Do Systems
Goju Ryu karate classes. Soccer, flag football, and a basketball
league, will be offered in the summer. The completion of a new recreation
center featuring a computer lab, racquetball and squash courts,
a small soccer field, two gazebos, a new outdoor café, and
new parking lot, is scheduled to be completed soon.
Westland Gardens Park is fully staffed, in order to insure the safety
and well being of the children and visitors. Adjacent to Hialeah
Gardens Elementary School is Golden Eagle Park. The three-acre park
contains a playground area, bathrooms, concession stand, and Gazebo
with domino tables. Golden Eagle Park is designed for children aged
12 and under.
In
the central area of the city is Joe Sherron Park. Particularly designed
with families in mind, this facility features outdoor gazebos and
a children’s playground. Designed for shade and picnics, Bernie
Wilson Park is within the southern district of the city. All around
the City, small area and linear parks designed for families to take
an afternoon stroll together, are available. For health and safety
reasons, pets are not allowed within any other of the City parks.
The Parks and Recreation Department looks forward in having your family visit our parks. Please do not hesitate to contact Walter Dubon, Director of Parks and Recreation with your comments and suggestions at (305) 558-2331, or e-mail wdubon@cityofhialeahgardens.com
