Flamingo Tennis Center

      The City of Miami Beach was incorporated in 1915.  Soon after, the 36 acres that was to become Flamingo Park was converted to a training ground for World War I flyers, the first airfield in Dade County. Then in 1929, the land was sold to Miami Beach for $300,000 and  Flamingo Park was born. Original city plans from 1930 show twenty-four (24) tennis courts occupying the south end of the park; and over the years the location and number of courts underwent changes according to the whims of local politicians.

      Flamingo Tennis Center’s greatest attainment was to host the Orange Bowl Tennis Championships which began in 1947 and remained for 51 years. The tournament was started by Eddie Herr, who wanted to bring some winter competition to South Beach for his tennis playing daughter, Suzanne.  The tournament soon grew in prestige and importance, being considered the initiation rite of all future world tennis champions.

      Decades of tournament winners are posted on a brass plaque at the entrance to Flamingo Tennis Center. Players include the who’s who of tennis: Chris Evert (1969, 1970 ), Bjorn Borg (1972), John McEnroe (1976), Evan Lendl (1977), Gabriela Sabatini (1984), Jim Courier (1987), and Anna Kournikova (1995). Till this day, Miami’s Mary Jo Fernandez is the only player, male or female, to win in every age division: 12s, 14s, 16s, and 18s (1982 to 1985).

      And the list of non-winning Orange Bowl players to have graced the Flamingo courts is equally as impressive: Jimmy Connors, Boris Becker, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, and Jennifer Capriati.  

      In 1983, during the tournament’s heyday, a professional stadium was built. The Abel Holtz stadium seated 5,000 fans. 

      During the 1990’s, Flamingo Park Tennis Center fell victim to poor maintenance. The standards of the Orange Bowl could not be maintained so in 1997 the tournament moved to Key Biscayne, home of today’s Sony Ericsson. The popularity of the tournament has suffered ever since the surface changed from clay at Flamingo to hard at Key Biscayne, resulting in less international player participation.

      Deterioration of Flamingo courts continued due to Hurricane Wilma and Katrina in 2005.  Flamingo Park Tennis Center became a substandard facility, not representative of South Beach, “Mecca” of the nation’s tourist industry.

      Then in 2008 a tennis revival began on the beach. Funded by a G.O. Bond, a $10M Master Plan to renovate all of Flamingo Park has begun and the first leg of the project is complete replacement of the tennis facility to include a new 5,000 sq. ft. tennis building and 17 clay hydro-courts.

      Other tennis court improvements throughout the city include restoring public courts at the golf course, adding several courts at Par-3 Park, and resurfacing hard courts at Polo Park and Normandy Isle.


    

      Miami Beach hopes one day to bring the Orange Bowl Tournament back to the Beach to restore the tournament’s prestige and popularity.
