Domino Park – Little Havana

Maximo Gomez Park, also known as “Domino Park”, is a former parking lot that was converted into a park along Calle Ocho (SW 8th St).  Today, it is one of the main meeting points and cultural landmarks in Little Havana. Almost anytime of the day, the small park is filled with retirees and neighborhood people playing dominoes or chess.  Here one can see an older generation of Cubans play dominoes or chess each day.

Around the corner, don’t miss the Little Havana Paseo de las Estrellas (Walk of the Stars). It is reminiscent of the one in Hollywood, but stars are given to Latin American actors, writers, artists and musicians.
