David T. Kennedy Park
2400 S Bayshore Dr, Miami, FL 33133, USA
Twenty-acre bayfront green space with a running track, outdoor gym, dog park and volleyball courts.
This guide to David T. Kennedy Park opens at a truck stop outside Miami in April 1973, where a hidden police wire caught Mayor David Kennedy discussing how to fix a drug sentence for a friend's son. You'll hear how the scandal cost him his office within days, and how a Sarasota judge dropped every charge four months later. The guide also traces Kennedy's genuine obsession with waterfront green space, inspired by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, and the 1972 parks bond that built the twenty acres beneath your feet.
