Thanks to our local District 5 politician, George Brummer, Palm-Aire Country Club has been awarded with a city park that could cost upwards of 1 million dollars. Of the 44 parks and recreations centers in Greater Pompano Beach, yet only 4 are found west of I-95. However that number is going to be changing after the Pompano Beach City Commission very recently agreed to begin planning a 5 acre city park right in the center of Palm-Aire.
With approximately 15,000 residents, Palm-Aire houses almost one-third of the city's population (and voters) so I think we are entitled to the benefits of a city park.
The city is spending $750,000 to buy the 5 acres of ruined tennis courts (thanks to Hurricane Wilma) and intends to revamp the property with new tennis and handball courts as well as either a basketball or volleyball court. Probably even a tot lot as well.
All in all it's great news for the residents of Palm-Aire because the eyesore of a defunct tennis court will be replaced with a brand new place where locals can unwind and stay healthy.
