Athletic fields closed until mid-August

     Residents who wish to use the athletic fields at Royal Oaks Park, 16500 NW 87 Ave., or Miami Lakes Optimist Park, 6411 NW 162 St., will have to wait until Aug. 15. 

     The Town of Miami Lakes closed areas in both parks on June 30 so that maintenance could be performed. 

     Residents may still use the lower bowls at Royal Oaks Park or the green spaces north of the basketball courts at Optimist Park for unorganized or pick-up play. 

     During the closures, athletic fields at Barbara Goleman Senior High School, 14100 NW 89 Ave., are available for residents’ use, according to the town.
