Pinecrest Gardens
Pinecrest Gardens is a 20-acre (81,000 m2) park in Pinecrest, Florida on the corner of Southwest 111th Street (Killian Drive) and Southwest 57th Avenue (Red Road).
It was the original location of the Parrot Jungle, a theme park started in 1936 until they relocated to the city of Miami's Watson Island in 2003. The Village of Pinecrest acquired the property over 60 years later in 2002, turning it into a dedicated municipal park. The gardens received a historic designation from the U.S. Department of the Interior October 17, 2011, adding it to the National Register of Historic Places as the Parrot Jungle Historic District and recognized by the Cultural Landscape Foundation.
