Parks & Recreational Facilities Advisory Board Motions
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (LTC) is to inform the Mayor and Commission of the motions
passed by the Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board at its meeting on April 9, 2024:
MOTION 1:
The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions to support a pilot program at the
Normandy Shores Park and Fairway Park neighborhood tennis courts as presented at tonight's Board
meeting to regulate the persistent problem encountered at the courts with professional tennis
instructors taking over the courts for private lessons. The pilot program would be run by the operators
of the Miami Beach Tennis Center during the summer who would be responsible for managing any
private instruction taking place on the tennis courts in addition to allowing for court bookings for open
tennis play. Further, the Board also motions that the City implement a schedule of enforcement to crack
down on private tennis lessons being taught at the tennis courts in Polo Park and Palm Island Park.
The pilot program at the Normandy Shores and Fairway Park tennis courts will be re-assessed by the
Board after the summer.
