Editorial Review for Grapeland Water Park – by Rick Munarriz
In Short
It's been a long time coming, but Miami finally has a water park. The municipal watering hole, also known as Black Beard's Beach, is a 13-acre playground of swimsuit soaking attractions. Grab an inner-tube and slowly meander through the 600-foot lazy river or hit the zero-entry swimming pool. Young children will appreciate a pair of shallow pools with slippery water slides and sprinkling seahorses. Local pop artist Romero Britto has several sculptures at the park, from the colorful 25-foot-tall swashbuckling pirate girl at the entrance to the water bucket that tips over every five minutes in the kiddie play area.

I THINK THE WATERPARK IS A GREAT ADDITION TO MIAMI DADE, IT IS VERY SMALL AND PARKING IS NOT EASILY ACCESSIBLE. BUT THANK YOU THE CHILDREN OF MIAMI DADE REALLY NEED IT.
Pros: PRICE..LOCATION...
Cons: PARKING AND SIZE
