Peacock Park fields are now open
So as of yesterday, the basketball and soccer fields at Peacock Park are open to the public from 3 to 8 pm. Our little gripe seemed to have worked. The area is only open weekdays for now, but weekend openings will happen soon as I am assuming that's when most people would use the fields.
Ron Nelson, Commissioner Marc Sarnoff's Chief of Staff told me that there is a park attendant on hand during that time to be sure that everything is safe and working fairly. "We want to be sure that the fields are protected, for instance we don't want people running around tearing up the grass," Ron told me.
This is great news for the community.

It is however regrettable that the city made a backroom deal (no RFP) with St. Stephens in the first place for an exclusive use of a portion of the park. It is also regrettable that the gate had to be unlocked as a result of the Grapevine and its caring Groveits shaming the city into doing what they had promised in the first place. Thanks Grapevine and caring Groveits.
Great news. I'll be going this afternoon with my kids.
Hopefully, we can continue our efforts and have the public park opened to the public when school is out over the weekends.
Ultimately, hopefully, school holidays as well.
Needs to be open on the weekends! Weekends are when most people go to parks! Come on City of Miami weekends ASAP!!
Good work Grape.
