The City of Miami Springs is working with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools to reopen the Miami Springs Senior High School’s outdoor basketball courts for public use again.
Growing up in Miami Springs, we had access to the courts and fields at our local public schools. That included access to the courts at Springview Elementary, Miami Springs Middle School, and Miami Springs Senior High.
However, with the mass school shootings and liability issues, local public school fields and courts have been locked down on nights and weekends. This caused communities across South Florida to lose access to much needed outdoor facilities.
According to the City Manager, JC Jimenez, the proposal has already passed a school board committee. It now needs to get approved by the entire school board.
We hope this ultimately passes as it will provide more recreational access to all Miami Springs residents without added expenses.
