The park is named after Charles Peacock, who built the Bay View House hotel, the first hotel in Coconut Grove, near this site in 1883.
It was once the location of the historic Peacock Inn, which helped establish Coconut Grove as a tourist destination in the late 19th century.
The park provides direct access to the Coconut Grove waterfront, connecting to the larger network of parks along the bay.
The site hosts the annual Coconut Grove Arts Festival, one of the most prominent outdoor art exhibitions in the region.
Peacock Park is a 9.4-acre waterfront green space located in the heart of Coconut Grove, Miami. The park features a multi-purpose field, outdoor basketball courts, and a softball field designed for community sports. It serves as a central hub for neighborhood recreation and hosts various local events throughout the year. The grounds include a dedicated playground area for children and open lawn spaces for casual leisure. The park is situated directly adjacent to Biscayne Bay, offering views of the marina and coastal scenery. It is managed by the City of Miami Department of Parks and Recreation.
The shoreline edge near the marina at sunset provides the best view of the bay and sailboats.
