Black Beard’s Beach

at Grapeland Water Park

Ahoy there Matey! Black Beard has run aground at the City of Miami’s newest water park, located at 1550 NW 37 Avenue.

A treasure trove of fun awaits families at this water park, where between four pools offer slides and splashes, meandering tube rides and recreation swim time. This is a family friendly facility where you can come for hours of water play time and while we want you to have fun we have to ask that you be mindful of our rules. We want you to have fun, but we also want to make sure that while you have fun, all of our guests have fun as well.

1)      Please any child under the age of 5 who is not potty trained MUST wear a swim diaper to be in the pool, we want our pools to remain clean and open for everyone’s enjoyment

2)      Appropriate swim attire must be work by anyone getting into the pool, so no sport shorts, jean shorts, cut-offs, spandex shorts, t-shirts are allowed to be worn into the pools. Also thongs are not deemed appropriate family fun swim attire.

3)      No outside food is allowed into the facility, this is for everyone’s safety, the concession stand within has a variety of food choices available.

4)      Wednesdays, children are free admission, adults are charged at the normal rate. Our admission policy allows only 4 children per adult unless it is through our group reservation system where camps are allowed in with a ratio of 1 adult per 8 children. Any child under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult to gain admission to the park.

Additional rules and policies for the park can be reviewed through the link at the bottom of this page.

Now that we have dealt with the official stuff, back to the fun you can have at Black Beard’s Beach! Below you will see photos of our four swim areas.

We have Pirates Plunge where toddlers ages 5 and below will find a low water level that allows for parents to feel comfortable with their little ones to walk within the pool. Slides are toddler friendly and our water bucket fills up and dumps cascading water below for a thorough soaking.

Over at Shipwreck Island, we welcome the 6 and older crowd to take the stairs to the top of the towers and take the fast slides for a spin. With zero entry access and wide areas for splashing this pool can offer the whole family the opportunity to laugh while getting wet. This pool also has the giant bucket that fills with water and then sounds a warning when it is time to stand under it while it dumps out water that helps you to cool off in the Miami sun.

Over at Captain’s Lagoon families can take it down a notch an hang out in this large recreation pool, no slides here just the perfect place to dip into the water and play with out worrying about the slides.

Next to the Captain’s Lagoon is the Buccaneer River Ride, a lazy river that lets the water do the work for you. Hop onto the brightly colored inflatable tubes and let the water take you for a ride around the park. Don’t think you escape getting wet over here, as different points of the river are sure to squirt and spray you on your journey.

We welcome you to our water park and invite you to take respite at one of our most enjoyable parks within the city of Miami. We ask that you be courteous to your neighbors while you enjoy the park.

It is important to note that our pools at Grapeland Water Park are accessible for all and patrons with special needs are welcomed. Should you need special assistance when you get to the park just let our staff know how they can assist you.
