Historic Preservation Board will be asked to Reconsider Number of Tennis Courts in Flamingo Park

On  TUESDAY, March 9th, beginning at 9:00 a.m., the Historic Preservation Board will meet in the Commission Chambers, Third Floor, City Hall.  One of the important items will be to consider the Flamingo Park Masterplan -- particularly the number of Tennis Courts to be included in the refurbished Tennis Center.
While current plans call for 17 clay courts, there has been a call by school tennis players to add up to five additional hard courts.
The Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association has called our -- Seventeen is Enough!
Recent Newspaper articles have reported on the complex issues involved, including the effort to attract major tournaments to the new facility.    http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/03/04/1511609/push-on-to-bring-prominent-tennis.html

It is very important that the Flamingo Neighborhood show up, stand up and speak up on behalf of a Park and a Masterplan that maintains its dual role as a recreational and green space resource for the neighborhood, the city and the region.  Join us on Tuesday at the Historic Preservation Board Meeting.
