The city of Aventura is replacing a lush community garden with a pickleball court—and neighbors are up in arms.
“Save our park! Save our park!” one protester said through a small blue megaphone outside the government building before a commission hearing.
“The gardens will be in the SAME park they have always been,” Weinberg said in messages to The Daily Beast. “They will actually be located in the nicest spot in the same park—along the waterfront!” The Aventura Marina Owners Association, however, does not seem to agree with the Mayor’s analysis of the project’s transparency and insists that the plan violates a decades-long deal.
Valdes explained that, like his fellow neighbors, he is not against pickleball and tennis, or the concept of free courts for the community to enjoy. He is just worried about the “peace and quiet” and green spaces that are being altered for the sake of the sport. “The plan has always been to share the park, as it belongs to all of our residents,” the mayor said. “We are a city of only 3.28 square miles, and we need to meet the needs of everyone, not a select few.”And while the outcries continue against Weinberg and the city’s commissioners, the Mayor admitted that he may not even need the new courts after all.
“Looks great. Kudos to our commissioners...and our great city manager and staff,” one resident said on Facebook. “After attending the meeting, speaking in favor of the courts, I was shocked to find out the garden is a padlocked area for a few select residents VS. the tennis and pickleball for ALL residents. This is a joke. How do I get some private public land !?!?”
