Tamiami Park is an urban park located south of FIU's  Modesto Maidique Campus.

Background

The park was built in the late 1960s on the site of the former Tamiami Airport, which was rebuilt as a larger airport south in Kendall. Growth of the surrounding area and the nearby flight path for Miami International Airport forced the relocation of the municipal airport. It shares the location with Florida International University.

The park also serves as the location for the Miami-Dade County Fair. Events are held at the park periodically.
