Miami is usually ahead of trends- not behind - and much smaller cities are wisely investing in this very popular and fast growing sport. Let's catch up! Please consider that Miami needs more Pickeeball courts for the following reasons: Growing popularity: Pickleball has been rapidly gaining popularity in recent years, attracting people of all ages and skill levels. More and more individuals are discovering the fun and excitement of this sport, leading to a higher demand for pickleball facilities in Miami. - Limited existing courts: Currently, there is a scarcity of pickleball courts in Miami compared to other sports. This shortage often results in long waiting times to access the existing courts, making it difficult for enthusiasts to play and enjoy the game regularly. - Health and fitness benefits: Pickleball is a great way to stay physically active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. By providing more pickleball courts in Miami, we would be encouraging more residents to engage in regular exercise, which can lead to improved cardiovascular health, increased strength, and enhanced overall well- being. - Social and community engagement: Pickleball is a social sport that brings people together. Expanding the number of pickleball courts would foster a sense of community by providing a gathering place for players to connect, meet new people, and build friendships. It would also create opportunities for tournaments and events, further enhancing community engagement. - Economic impact: With the rise in popularity of pickleball, there is a potential for economic growth in Miami. More dedicated pickleball courts would attract players from neighboring areas, increasing tourism, and generating revenue for local businesses such as restaurants, hotels, and sports equipment retailers. - Multi -generational appeal: One of the unique aspects of pickleball is its ability to engage people of all ages. From young children to seniors, pickleball is a sport that can be enjoyed by everyone. By providing more courts, we would be catering to the diverse population of Miami and ensuring that people of all ages have access to a fun and inclusive recreational activity. Please approve the budget to build 10 Pickle Ball courts below 195 by Jose Marti Park. Pickleball is now the fastest -growing sport in the nation for the fifth consecutive year in a row, with 48.3 million U.S. adults (19% of the adult population) having played at least one game in the last 12 months, according to the Association of Pickleball Professionals.
