Tennis Center At Crandon Park
The Tennis Center at Crandon Park was the third home of the Miami Open. It began in Delray Beach in 1985 and moved to Boca Raton in 1986, before settling in Key Biscayne in 1987. The Miami Open then moved to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens starting in 2019. The Tennis Center is also home to the United States Tennis Association's player development program headquarters and from 1999 to 2010 the 16-and-under Junior Orange Bowl.
During the 2013 Miami Masters, plans were unveiled to fully renovate Crandon Park Tennis Center which would include building three permanent show courts. Legal issues regarding restrictions on the Park's usage prevented the plan's implementation. The subsequent move of the Miami Open to Hard Rock Stadium presumably ended any efforts to redevelop the site.
