Bayfront Park and Bicentennial Park are open to the public.
The hours for the parks on non-event days are from sunrise to sunset.

Bayfront Park is located in the heart of downtown Miami, on beautiful Biscayne Bay. It is bounded on the north by Bayside Marketplace, on the south by Hotel InterContinental, on the east by Biscayne Bay and on the west by Biscayne Boulevard. Redesigned in the early 1980's by Isamu Noguchi and managed by Bayfront Park Management Trust, Bayfront Park is 32 acres of lush greenery, with a small sand beach, a tropical rock garden and waterfall (dating back to 1926), a cascading fountain, a Light Tower, and many different monuments commemorating events and people throughout history. The list of the monuments includes the Challenger Memorial, Veterans’ Memorial, Mildred and Claude Pepper Fountain, statues of Claude Pepper and Christopher Columbus, Centennial Time Capsule, and four plaques commemorating, respectively, the assassination of Chicago Mayor Anton Cermack, the park’s dedication, Stobo DePass Curry’s contribution to the park’s creation, and Isamu Noguchi ’s involvement in the design.

Recognized as the 20th Century’s foremost American sculptor, Isamu Noguchi’s innovative parks, plazas, playgrounds, fountains, gardens and public pieces are located in many different countries and celebrated around the world. He designed Bayfront Park to be “a park for the people — may it take its place as a wedge of art into the heart of the New World.” Bayfront Park contains three significant Noguchi sculptures: the Slide Mantra, the Challenger Memorial and the Light Tower. The Slide Mantra is a 10 foot high, white carrara marble slide, weighing 29 tons. This slide demonstrates Noguchi’s long held belief that play could lead to a new appreciation of sculpture. The Challenger Memorial is a white, metal pipe tower that rises approximately 100 feet out of the park’s southwest corner. The sculpture is dedicated to the memory of the Challenger astronauts and makes allusions to the double helix DNA molecule and the twisting contrails of NASA’s doomed spacecraft. The Light Tower is representative of Noguchi’s earlier work with monumental shapes and their interaction with light. The forty foot, aubergine tower makes references to Japanese lanterns and the full moon over Miami.

Bayfront Park is the host site for many special events.  The Park fronts onto Biscayne Boulevard (Miami's “main street”), and is three blocks from Interstate I-95.  The park is easily accessible by Miami-Dade County public transportation (Metrorail, Tri-Rail, and Metro-Bus), and is located next door to Bayside Marketplace -- a General Development Corporation that attracts 10 million people per year. 
The Bayfront Park Amphitheater is located within Bayfront Park and has a capacity of 10,000 for general admission shows.  There are fixed benches with seating for 2,672 and the lawn makes up the remaining 7,328.  While watching a show in the amphitheater, patrons have Miami's skyline to their back and Biscayne Bay directly beyond the stage.  The amphitheater is surrounded by an "amphi-walk," an elevated walkway that provides a sheltered area to protect guests from the hot sun or rain.
The Tina Hills Pavilion (capacity 1,000) is also located within the park and is available for smaller concerts, receptions, corporate events, and press conferences. The 1,000 capacity is comprised of fixed seating for 200 and lawn seating for 800. The flexibility of the open-air design allows for play towards the seats or away from the seats, facing Biscayne Bay.

Bicentennial Park is also located on beautiful Biscayne Bay, seven blocks north of Bayfront Park.  Bicentennial Park is a 29-acre, open park with an event capacity of 45,000 (based on event infrastructure).  Given the wide-open space, there are several different event set-ups that take place: everything from a singular stage to multiple stages to a carnival atmosphere. Some examples of event set-ups that have taken place at Bicentennial Park are the Lollapalooza music festival and the grand chapiteau of Cirque Du Soleil.

Unlike most outdoor facilities, the BPMT facilities are open twelve months per year.  The beautiful Miami weather with an annual average temperature of 76 degrees Fahrenheit, allows for year-round operation -- the fact that Miami is a major market with over 2.3 million people in Miami-Dade County alone, completes the equation.
