Park patrons can enter the farm through a bougainvillea-covered trellis and head over to the Barn with its petting area. Once there you can pet live cows, goats, chickens, pigs, sheep, and geese.

The five lakes at Amelia make this 515-acre park one of our largest water-based resources. You can fish in all five lakes, angle for bass, brim and mullet, and go paddle boating or canoeing on three of them. The Bill Graham Farm Village at the park has its own Babbling Brook stocked with fish. We even offer wakeboarding lessons in the largest lake. Unfortunately, swimming is not permitted in these lakes.

Bill Graham Farm Village

Old McDonald had a farm--but it sure wasn't like this one! "Bill Graham Farm Village" is a fancifully re-created Miami-Dade County homestead combining features of pioneer farms from the turn of the century with some pleasant modern additions such as an air-conditioned Country Store and a Demonstration Hall. The Farm Village was created to provide today's urbanized children an opportunity to learn about Miami-Dade County's agricultural past by visiting a replica of the kinds of farms that once dotted three-quarters of the region.

Park patrons can enter the farm through a bougainvillea-covered trellis and head over to the Barn with its petting area. Once there you can pet live cows, horses, ponies, goats, chickens, pigs, sheep, geese and a donkey or two.

The pony ring, on the side of the Barn, is equipped with benches for weary parents to sit and rest while watching their kids ride a pony, jump into a big haystack or "drive" an old tractor.

The Country Store is surrounded by a shady welcoming porch and is stocked with lots of goodies. It even has its own post office. Then there's the old Fishing Rock, where you can cast a line into a freshwater lake stocked with big, fat bass.

Old McDonald would be amazed, but right at home. "Bill Graham's Farm Village" -- a real place, only better!
