About
Peacock Park is the beating heart of Coconut Grove — Miami's most bohemian neighborhood — a free waterfront park where families, locals, and visitors converge on Biscayne Bay for relaxed outdoor time in one of the city's most beautiful settings.
The park features a well-maintained playground with equipment for a range of ages, from toddler-scale structures to climbing gear for older kids. Towering shade trees provide natural cover over portions of the playground, making morning visits particularly comfortable. Expansive lawns slope gently toward the bay, where you can watch sailboats, kayakers, and the occasional manatee in the calm waters.
Coconut Grove itself adds significant appeal to a Peacock Park visit. The CocoWalk shopping center is directly adjacent, making food and restroom access easy. The neighborhood's walkable streets, independent boutiques, and village-like atmosphere feel markedly different from the rest of Miami — a welcome change of pace for families who've spent time on South Beach or in downtown.
On weekends, Peacock Park hosts farmers markets, yoga sessions, and community events that add to the lively neighborhood energy. The bayfront promenade offers a scenic extension to any park visit, with the Dinner Key Marina and several waterfront restaurants within easy walking distance. Restrooms are available on site near the park pavilion.
