I called to get some info and Brian literally hung up on me after less than 30 secs in an absolutely uncalled-for and rude manner

I flew into Miami for a wedding and did a Google search for a tennis pro for some lessons; I found Brian.

Coconut Grove

While wandering around the Grove during the King Mango Strut Parade, I discovered this charming…read morepark named in honor of explorer, pioneer, and author Kirk Munroe. Munroe was born in a log cabin in Prairie-du-Chien, Wisconsin in 1850. One of his first adventures was to walk across the continent of North America. He went on to travel the world where he wrote stories based on his experiences. His career included newspaper reporting, editing, and authoring adventure books for boys. "Through Swamp and Glade" and "Flamingo Feather" are novels based on his experiences with the Seminole Indians in Florida. In 1866 Kirk Munroe settled in Coconut Grove with his wife. It was ten years prior to Miami being incorporated as a city. Although he still traveled, he always enjoyed returning to his home in Coconut Grove which he called Scrububs. Kirk was a noted member of the Florida Audubon Society and helped establish the Ransom Everglades School. While in the Grove, he and Ralph Munroe founded the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club in 1887 to celebrate Washington's birthday. Ralph donated the land that Kirk founded the Coconut Grove Library on. It was the first library in the state of Florida to own its building. Kirk Munroe passed away on June 16, 1930 at the age of 79, at a Florida sanitarium in Orlando. His funeral service was held at the Plymouth Congregational Church. Kirk Munroe Park is Miami's only tennis park. The park has five tennis courts and offers tennis programs for youth and adults. Other park amenities include bathrooms, picnic tables, a playground, and outdoor gym equipment. While primarily a tennis park, area residents also enjoy picnics here and taking their children to play. Changes may soon be in store for this park. Coral Gables-based Allen Morris Company is proposing a massive mixed-use project, Ziggurat, for the block where Coconut Grove Laundry & Cleaners now operates, between the park and Fuller Street. If it is approved they agreed to redesign Kirk Munroe Park with a new children's play area, café, new landscaping, and a complete refurbishment of the park's five tennis courts. Some Grove residents are worried that such a massive project with impact the bohemian charm of their historic neighborhood. It is something to keep an eye on.

I recently started taking tennis lessons at this park and am very impressed with the facility! At…read moreonly $3 an hour for adults, non-residents, it's a good bet for some playing. There are five courts that are assigned on a first come, first served basis. If you are looking to practice on your own, there is also a wall to hit on with two sides to it. Besides the courts, Kirk Munroe is a regular ol' park. It has a jungle gym, large grassy area (but dogs must be on a leash), and also fitness equipment for pull ups and the like. There are plenty of large trees to provide some shade, as well. Overall, it's an awesome center in the heart of Coconut Grove! Metered parking is found around the courts on Matilda St.
