Moore Park was instituted in 1927 when T.V. “The Pineapple King” Moore donated the land to the City of Miami. Six years later the park hosted the college football bowl game that would eventually become the famed Orange Bowl. Bobby Curtis, who is broadly recognized as the founder of the Florida Junior Team Tennis program (eventually adopted nation-wide by the United States Tennis Association) got his start teaching tennis at Moore Park in the 1950s. Serving a diverse and economically challenged neighborhood in Miami, Curtis turned the Moore Park tennis center, now the Ashe-Buchholz Tennis Center at Moore Park, into a safe haven for children of all backgrounds, despite their means. Tennis legend Arthur Ashe conducted clinics here, inspiring generations of players. It is the home of National Junior Tennis and Learning (NJTL) organization, First Serve Miami, which has impacted lives of many players. This was also the first location in southern Florida to host an American Tennis Association sanctioned tournament. The park’s influence on local tennis is profound, as it has nurtured both aspiring players and future legends of the game – including Mary Joe Fernandez, who played her first tournament here.
