one of Miami-Dade’s most treasured county parks. It first opened in the late 1930s, after industrial chemical giant, William J. Matheson, donated 85 acres of prime, beachfront property to Miami-Dade County to be turned into a local park. Seeing the potential of this unspoiled Miami landscape, the county quickly expanded that land to the size it is today, including vast stretches of Florida mangroves and hardwood forests, and hired landscape architect William Lyman Phillips to design it. Along with Matheson Hammock Park, Phillips also designed Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in 1938.
