​City Of Sunny Isles Beach
Breaks Ground On The Future Intracoastal Sports Park

This City-owned .63 acre parcel of land along with an adjacent park easement is planned to be an extension of the Intracoastal Park system. With a playground at Intracoastal Park South, there has been a demand for restrooms for those users. Additionally, there have been requests for active recreation in the form of tennis and basketball. This project includes the design and construction of a multi-use court and tennis court for these activities as well as a small building for restrooms, storage and a staff member, along with a small parking lot. It is planned to be a resident-only park to serve our entire community.

Members of the public joined elected officials, city staff and the project’s management team to celebrate the milestone. Besides the multi-use sports courts for tennis and basketball, there will be outdoor exercise equipment, and a pedestrian pathway designed to encourage an active lifestyle.

“We are creating a space where people of all ages can come together, stay active, and enjoy the outdoors. It’s not just about sports—it’s about fostering a stronger, healthier community,” said Mayor Larisa Svechin.

City leaders have long recognized the need for additional outdoor sports facilities. With the city’s only indoor court located at Pelican Community Park, the new outdoor courts will provide a fresh way to play and stay active in the open air.

“It’s a great addition,” said resident Jonas Nielsen. “You have so many residents that live in this area and they will be able to walk to the park, which is great!”

With construction now underway, the Intracoastal Sports Park is expected to open by the end of the year.
