Is there a better feeling than hitting the courts with some of your friends? Pick-up sports is a joy that is known throughout the world, and being able to seamlessly pick up the phone and just play has made pickup one of the most fun ways to stay active. Whether it be basketball, soccer, or volleyball, pickup at the park is almost easier than making yourself a sandwich. With the added bonus of court sports like tennis and pickleball, going to the park promises a variety of activities that are bound to interest the majority of people.
Murray Park in South Miami, Florida is a park that offers a variety of activities, a major pull being basketball. One of the easiest sports to find games for, this park is always seeing groups of people playing half court, full court, or just shooting and chatting. An added bonus is that this park offers both outdoor and indoor courts, giving more court space and an option to escape from the Florida humidity. To add to their impressive repertoire of playing spaces, they are soliciting bids for the renovation of their multipurpose field, further improving the park and playability of the area.
The renovation of these fields can ensure playability, but above all it helps with safety. Park fields are notorious for the many bumps and divots, all potential causes for rolled ankles or worse. Renovation helps smooth these fields over, protecting potential players and allowing them to more freely enjoy the space in whatever way they want. By renovating the whole field, it also limits the tendency of people to flock to specific areas of the field. Overtime, fields experience wear and tear, and some areas may not be as nice to play on as others, leading to many patrons to flock to corners or nicer areas. This can damage the fields more, causing even more uneven areas and becoming progressively more dangerous as time goes on. Comprehensive field renovation can mitigate this situation, providing a more pleasant experience for all park visitors.
For the field in general, renovations can extend the life of it. Exposed to elements as well as people, wear and tear is bound to be present, and renovations help preserve the life of the field as a whole, reducing the money spent on repairs and time spent waiting for the fields to be ready for use again.
