Spring Garden is a small, historic residential pocket on the north bank of the Miami River, bounded by the Dolphin Expressway, the Seybold Canal and NW 12th Avenue. Its quiet, narrow streets sit next to heavy traffic: NW 12th Avenue carries hospital and expressway traffic past the neighborhood’s western edge, and drivers use local streets and North River Drive to reach the river businesses and the Civic Center medical district.

Transit, bikes and pedestrians

Metrorail’s Culmer station (NW 11th St and NW 7th Ave) is a short walk east, and Civic Center station (NW 12th Ave) is just north across the Dolphin Expressway. If you were hurt on foot, on a bike or as a passenger, your own household PIP policy usually pays first.

Nearest emergency care

Jackson Memorial Hospital and its Ryder Trauma Center (1611 NW 12th Ave), Miami-Dade’s main adult trauma center, just north across the Dolphin Expressway. In an emergency, always call 911.

A tip for Spring Garden crashes

Many Spring Garden streets are narrow and lined with parked cars and trees, so low-speed backing and side-swipe crashes are common. Photograph where each car was parked or stopped before anything is moved, if it is safe.
