has taken more than a half-century for Pinecrest Gardens to evolve into the
lush
oasis
of towering
banyans, natural streams, and panoramic landscapes that
can inspire awe among its visitors.
The Village of Pinecrest welcomes
all residents and neighbors to drop life’s pressures at
the entrance to this historic park and take a stroll through
paradise.
Spend a memorable day exploring the garden with your
family or participate in a class, concert or lecture to
enlighten your horizons and those of your children. Pinecrest
Gardens is the place where a community convenes for a
formidable array of relaxation, social and enrichment
opportunities. Visit us and discover…the
hidden treasure
in your own backyard.

In the 1930s,
Austrian born Franz Scherr envisioned building an
attraction where birds would "fly free". He rented twenty
acres of hammock land for $25.00 per year and started developing the tourist attraction that
would become Parrot
Jungle. A winding nature trail was dug through the
coral rock and hammock land, leaving the natural flora
untouched. An entrance building was built on Red Road.
On December 20, 1936, about 100 curious visitors paid 25
cents admission to see and hear Scherr describe his
birds, trees and flowers. Since 1936, Parrot
Jungle attracted over a million visitors, including Sir
Winston Churchill, and became a world-famous tourist
attraction. The attraction moved to Miami's Watson
Island in 2002. On December 17, 2002, the Village of
Pinecrest completed the purchase of the Parrot Jungle
property and began the transition towards developing the
site as Pinecrest Gardens. Pinecrest Gardens was
dedicated by the Village Council on March 8, 2003 and
was officially opened as a municipal park.
