Manatee Bend Park

Manatee Bend Park is a small urban park located in Miami, Florida, situated along the banks of the Little River. The park is nestled in the Ironside neighborhood of Miami's Upper Eastside, off the historic MiMo Biscayne Boulevard.

True to its name, Manatee Bend Park is known for the occasional sightings of manatees, especially during the cooler months when these gentle marine mammals seek warmer waters. The park's location at a bend in the Little River provides an ideal spot for observing these creatures in their natural habitat.

While not particularly large or visually striking, Manatee Bend Park offers visitors a quiet retreat from the bustling city. The park features a grassy area where visitors can relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Its proximity to the Little River also makes it a popular spot for those interested in local wildlife and bird watching.

The park serves as a small but significant green space in the urban landscape, providing residents and visitors alike with access to nature and a glimpse into the ecosystem of the Little River. Despite its modest size, Manatee Bend Park plays a role in local conservation efforts and serves as a reminder of the diverse wildlife that coexists within Miami's urban environment.
