Grand Reopening Set for Flamingo Park Handball Courts in South Beach

(Miami Beach, FL) Apr 12, 2022 -

The City of Miami Beach will host a grand reopening of the newly refurbished Flamingo Park handball courts in South Beach. Please join Miami Beach officials in celebrating this iconic amenity on Tuesday, April 12 at 8:30 a.m.

“We have a very active handball community in Miami Beach that has been eagerly anticipating the completion of this project,” Miami Beach City Manager Alina T. Hudak said. “We wish our handball players many more years of aces, corner throws and diving shots on these beautiful courts.”

Handball has been a popular sport in Miami Beach since the 1970s, so much so that project renovations were staggered to minimize disruptions in play on the indoor and outdoor courts during the work.

The exuberant Flamingo Park handball community was recently featured in an article that appeared in The New York Times.

In addition to resurfacing and rebuilding the courts, the project included new lighting, water fountains and drainage improvements. Handball courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis for approximately one hour per game.

Flamingo Park spans more than 36 acres in South Beach. As funding becomes available, the city plans to continue to upgrade park amenities.
