Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Park

Marjory Stoneman Douglas Park in Miami honors the legacy of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, an influential journalist, writer, feminist, and environmentalist known for her passionate defense of the Everglades. This park serves as a reminder of her relentless efforts to protect natural habitats from development and her significant contributions to environmental literature, notably her acclaimed book, "The Everglades: River of Grass."

The park features two distinct recreational areas named after Douglas, including the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Mini Park in Coconut Grove, which offers a peaceful resting spot for locals, and the Marjory Stoneman Douglas Ocean Beach Park in Miami Beach, a vibrant space for children and visitors alike, equipped with playground facilities and access to the Atlantic Ocean. Both parks provide a unique opportunity to celebrate Douglas's commitment to conservation while enjoying the natural beauty of the area.
