Designated as an Old Forest Growth Community, Simpson Park is a natural preserve that encompasses over eighth acres of tropical hardwood hammock in the center of Miami’s Urban core, one of the last remnants of the famous Brickell Hammock.

One of the first conservation efforts in Miami, the majority of Simpson Park is comprised of native trees and undergrowth, with over 162 plant species are represented.  Of these, at least 96 are native species, such as Red Stopper, Spicewood, Live Oak, Strangler Fig, Jamaica Dogwood, Gumbo Limbo, False-Mastic, and lignum Vitae. There are 15 endangered species and 9 threaten species in the park, including Wild Cinnamon, Coffee Colubrina, Yellow Boxwood, Silver Palm, Strongbark, Euginia confusa, Redberry stopper, and Gulf licaria.
