Domino Park


Domino Park is located in Miami, Florida, a major hub of family and community life in the city's Little Havana. Guests discover that the park is part of the community traditions, a Cuban community were everything has been built to reproduce the splendours of Havana in its glory days.

The park is officially known as Maximo Gomez Park, but the name Domino is a local nickname that many are familiar with. The park was built in the 70s to enable Cuban Americans to continue to enjoy their dominos games as they have done in the area for generations. Sitting near the most populated Cuban American communities, the park is always busy with community members, whether relaxing or catching up on local gossip.

The park has become a haven for not only dominos games and championships, but other important board games such as chess. Special tables with permanent chess and dominos boards were made to replace the scattering of failing tables that once graced the street corner for many years. Today, special lighting and umbrellas allow players, whether local or tourists, to play their games well into the late hours, all night if they choose to.

Domino Park is a cultural icon within one of the city's most traditional neighbourhoods. Best of all, anyone of any age can visit the park in a safe and friendly environment.
