@oletariveradventures: The birthday party you've been trying to plan just found a location. Oleta River State Park has shaded pavilions available for private rental throughout the park, and they sit inside one of the most beautiful natural settings in South Florida. Waterfront. Tree canopy overhead. The kind of backdrop that makes every photo look like it was taken somewhere far away from Miami, even though you're ten minutes from home. Small intimate gatherings up to large celebrations of 150 people. There's a pavilion that fits your group. Tables are included. The park is open year-round from 8am until sunset. Comment GATHER and we will send you the information to make a reservation.
