Those non-Miami parks are literally embedded within the cities, surrounded by a dense urban fabric. The 2 you list in Miami are already multiple miles off the mainland via a single bridge. It's radically different from the urban parks of NYC, Boston, and Chicago.
For instance, within 5 minutes you can walk from the densest built-up area of Boston (Downtown Crossing) to the middle of Boston Common. From downtown Miami it looks like the walk to Virginia Key Park (the closer of the 2 you listed) would be at least an hour, one way.
