Getting a court at Sunny Isles Beach’s new Intracoastal Sports Park requires more than showing up: the city uses a reservation system, check-in process and park-specific rules.

The waterfront facility adds tennis, basketball, outdoor fitness equipment and a walking path at 15800 Collins Avenue.

Residents can check availability, fees and parking details before heading over on the city’s official park page.

At a Glance

• Location: 15800 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isles Beach.

• Parking: Limited to park users; verify the current fees and rules on the official park page.

Intracoastal Sports Park, at 15800 Collins Avenue, is open with tennis and basketball courts, outdoor exercise equipment, a pedestrian pathway and restrooms. The city announced its grand opening in September, positioning the park as an addition to Sunny Isles Beach’s active-recreation options.

For families and regular players, knowing the rules before heading over can make the visit smoother. Residents with a valid Sunny Isles Beach Resident ID Card can reserve a court online; walk-ins can use an unreserved court after checking in with city staff.

Availability, weather conditions and operating rules can change, so the city’s park page—not an old opening-day announcement—is the best source for a same-day visit.

What the park includes

• Multi-use courts for tennis and basketball.
• Outdoor fitness equipment and a pedestrian pathway.
• Restrooms and limited park-user parking.
• On-site staff check-in for players using courts.

Reservations and court access

The city’s Intracoastal Sports Park page says residents with valid Resident ID Cards may reserve courts online through the city’s activities system. Reservations are available up to seven days ahead, are limited to one hour at a time and capped at three per household per week, with no more than one reservation per day.

Residents may bring up to three guests for a tennis reservation and up to nine guests for basketball, provided the required waivers are on file. Basketball reservations are listed daily from 5 to 8 p.m.

Courts without a reservation can be available first-come, first-served, but players should still check in with staff before entering. The city also notes a 10-minute grace period; after that, a reservation may be forfeited.

Fees, equipment and parking

Reservations are free for qualified residents. The city lists a $5-per-hour guest fee, $30-per-hour nonresident rate and $15-per-hour hotel-guest rate, with specific eligibility rules attached to each. Tennis rackets and basketballs are available in limited quantities, with free rentals for residents and fees for nonresidents and hotel guests.

Parking is limited to park users and is not beach parking. The city lists daily parking from 6:45 a.m. to 10:15 p.m., with PayByPhone location 34045, a $5 hourly rate and a $3 discounted resident rate through Code Compliance.

A few practical reminders before visiting

The facility’s official rules and hours should be the final check before making plans. The city lists park hours as sunrise to sunset, while facility and court hours, reservation availability and weather closures may operate differently.

Players should wear appropriate athletic shoes, bring water and plan to check in before using a court. The posted rules also prohibit pets, bicycles, scooters, skating, alcohol, glass containers, amplified music and smoking; recognized service animals are an exception to the no-animals rule.

Those guidelines are not filler. In a compact, shared facility, they help courts turn over fairly and keep the site workable for people who arrive for a scheduled game, a quick workout or a walk along the water.

Why the opening matters

The city’s September opening announcement described the park as a new outdoor space for activity and community connection. The practical value now is less about the ribbon-cutting and more about how residents can use the facility week after week.

The park is part of a broader local recreation network, but it has a distinct role: courts, fitness equipment and a walking path in one small waterfront-oriented setting. That makes it especially useful for residents looking for an active option without leaving Sunny Isles Beach.

The key takeaway is to treat the park as a reservation-aware shared amenity, not an always-open court complex. Check availability, confirm the rules and parking details, and then use the city’s online activities portal or staff check-in process to get on the court with less last-minute guesswork.
