No more tennis courts at Kirk Monroe Park

Last night, the Cocoanut Village Council met and they went on and on and accomplished nothing as usual. They beat a dead horse, meaning the Kirk Monroe Park (Oak and Florida Aves.) issue on adding a tennis court or two.

The neighbors who live near the park are against it, that should be the answer. No. But of course members on the Council, have decided to drag the issue on and on. There is now going to be a committee to discuss the issue.

Other areas that had tennis courts now do without, like Peacock Park and West Grove (where those tennis courts were turned into skateboard and hockey parks) and there is a small run down tennis court next to the fire station on Oak. Yet for some reason, the Council could not come to the conclusion that Coconut Grove prides itself on green space and with overdevelopment going on all over the Grove, it is their duty to preserve what they can. Yet they drag the issue out without making a decision, which according to most of the neighbors, should be "no".

Claim the tennis courts back at Peacock Park and West Grove. Leave the Kirk Monroe Park alone. Do what the neighbors want, that is the whole purpose of the Cocoanut Grove Village Council.
