A.D Barnes Park & Sense of Wonder Nature Center

Tuesday May 8, 2012

Miami's A. D. Barnes Park is a busy 65-acre park offering a swimming pool, as well as the Sense of Wonder Nature Center.

The Sense of Wonder Nature Center and Trail is set within one of the few remaining Pine Rocklands in Miami-Dade County.

As a result, it has become an "oasis" for migrating birds and, according to the National Audubon Society, is one of the best places to see birds in Miami.
