Miami Beach, Floride – In a highly anticipated exhibition match, the Miami Beach Senior High School Lady Hi Tides softball team will team up with the Hi-Tides boys baseball team for their annual end-of-season coed showdown as the City of Miami Beach welcomes residents back to the upgraded Flamingo Park softball field on Thursday, May 14 at 4 p.m. The softball field is located at 13 Street and Meridian Avenue.
“The completion of this ballfield reflects our dedication to delivering high-quality, safe, and sustainable infrastructure for our residents and talented student-athletes,” a déclaré le maire de Miami Beach, Steven Meiner., who will throw out the ceremonial first pitch for the coed game to reopen the field following a yearlong renovation project.
Funded by the 2018 General Obligation Bond approved by Miami Beach voters, the project has transformed the 63,000-square-foot Andy Diamond softball field into a premier recreational space with upgraded facilities, improved field conditions and enhanced spectator areas. The $6.4 million project included upgraded drainage, new artificial turf, upgraded dugouts and bleachers, new batting cages, taller fencing and netting, 52 new LED light poles, landscaping and new concrete sidewalks. The artificial turf infill is made of a renewable softwood material used to reduce the temperature of the artificial turf. The new field also incorporates shock pads that promote fast drainage and provides superior safety performance.
The Lady High-Tides play all of their home games and practice at the softball field while the boys play their home games at the nearby Flamingo Park Baseball Field, which was recently renamed in honor of baseball coach Stanley “Skip” Bertman. The legendary coach graduated from Miami Beach Senior High School in 1956 and later returned to lead the school’s baseball program to a state championship and two runner-up finishes before making his mark at the collegiate level. Adult recreation groups will also begin using the updated softball field this summer.
In addition to the work on the softball field, the city is also completing renovations to the Flamingo Park Lodge and anticipates breaking ground on a butterfly garden by early fall 2026.
