Once the site of Miami's zoo, Crandon Park is now Miami-Dade County's mother of all parks. The park offers a world-class tennis center, one of the finest public golf courses in the country, Miami's best-known public beach, a marina, and Calusa Park, which includes a community playhouse and children's playground. In short, it's quite a place.
The Crandon Park Tennis Center, built on the site of a former landfill, is the home of the Nasdaq-100 Open tennis championships, a huge springtime professional tennis extravaganza started in Delray Beach by Butch Buchholz. The tournament is the fifth-largest pro tennis event, ranking just behind the grand slam events, and brings together the top pros from the Women's Tennis Association and the Association of Tennis Professionals. The center is also home to the United States Tennis Association's player development program headquarters.
The stadium court has 7,500 permanent seats and can add 6,500 temporary seats for tournaments. It offers sponsor suites and all the other furnishings and trappings necessary to conduct top-notch tournaments in style. The stadium court also offers complete wheelchair accessibility.
But when the pros are playing elsewhere, the center is open to the public and offers individual and league play as well as a variety of lessons. The courts are open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The center features 17 Laykold hard courts, four European red clay, four American green clay courts, and two grass courts. Six of the hard courts are lighted for night play. Hard courts may be rented for $3 per person per hour during the day and $5 per person per hour at night. Clay courts may be rented for $6 per person per hour during the daylight hours only.
Crandon Park Beach is much more than just a strip of sand and lots of water, but the two miles of beach there are revered as one of America's great beaches. In addition, there are baseball and softball diamonds, soccer fields, and an amusement center that includes an open-air roller rink and a 1949 restored Coney Island-style carousel.
