Maurice A. Ferré Park 🇺🇸

Maurice A. Ferré Park (formerly Museum Park and originally named Bicentennial Park) is a 30-acre public urban park located right in downtown Miami, Florida, along Biscayne Bay. Maintained by the Bayfront Park Management Trust, this waterfront destination sits on historic land that once served as the Port of Miami and a rail slip site.

Today, you can explore a refreshed public space featuring a new bay walk and a promenade linking Biscayne Boulevard to the bay. The park provides direct pedestrian access to major cultural institutions, including the Pérez Art Museum Miami and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science. You will also discover the Dogs and Cats Walkway and Sculpture Gardens as well as the Miami Science Barge, a floating marine laboratory focused on sustainability, alternative agriculture, and marine conservation.

Bordered by Biscayne Boulevard, I-395, and neighboring landmarks like the American Airlines Arena and Bayside Marketplace, the park hosts large-scale events, concerts, conventions, and boat tours around Biscayne Bay. Whether you are strolling the promenade, taking in the bay views, or visiting its partner location, Bayfront Park, seven blocks south, you will enjoy a distinct piece of Miami's waterfront history.
