City of Miami has 40 plus dedicated tennis courts; dedicated pickleball courts? ZERO!


City of Miami has 40 plus dedicated tennis courts. How many dedicated pickleball courts does it provide its residents? Zero.
We love tennis and we would love to co-exist!
We ask that 2 - 3 under utilized tennis courts of the 40 plus dedicated tennis courts in the City of Miami be carved out for pickleball. Each tennis court can be converted into 4 pickleball courts! This would service the need almost immediately! This could be done at:
Moore Park that has 11 dedicated tennis courts and at
Morningside that has 8 dedicated tennis courts
This conversion would be a relief for residents while the Park Master Plan is being approved by the Commission which may take several years.
Call to action: Contact Mayor Suarez and Commissioners so they understand the need and that there is an immediate solution:
