Merrick Park

A city-run park at 405 Biltmore Way in Coral Gables, open daily from 8 am to midnight, good for a short stop outdoors.

Checked October 2026

Good for a quick sit or a stroll while you're already in Coral Gables. It's not a destination park, and the public sources say little about what's inside, so treat it as a pause, not a plan.

What the sources say

Merrick Park sits at 405 Biltmore Way and is run by the City of Coral Gables, so its official page lives on the city's own website. That page is a general city homepage with meetings, permits and event listings, and it offers almost nothing specific about the park itself. What you can count on: it's a public park, it keeps long hours, and it holds a 4.6 from about 630 Google reviews. That's a solid score for a neighborhood green space, so locals seem to like it.

Open until midnight

The gates, so to speak, are open from 8 am to midnight every day of the week, weekends included. That's a wider window than many parks, which makes it easy to fit in after dinner nearby or before work. Mornings are the easy call in Miami heat, and evenings cool off enough for a slow walk. After dark, stay where it's lit and bring the usual city sense. If you want something specific, like an event or a programmed activity, check the city's community calendar before you go.

Pairing it with the Gables

A park on Biltmore Way works best as part of a longer Coral Gables outing rather than a trip on its own. The city leans into its "City Beautiful" reputation: tree-lined avenues, historic buildings, public art and plenty of restaurants. Use Merrick Park as the breather between errands, a coffee and a lunch reservation. Around holidays the city runs seasonal events across town, from Halloween programming to a Día de los Muertos celebration, so a quick look at the calendar can turn an ordinary walk into something with a bit more going on.

Good to know

Open 8 am to midnight daily, so a late evening walk is possible.
