The pickleball craze has taken over South Florida, and now players will have a pickleball headquarters in Fort Lauderdale with the first-of-its-kind pickleball stadium opening this year.

Fort Lauderdale is boosting its COVID-19 testing capacity, but in an effort to slow the spread of the virus, the city has also announced the cancellation of its Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade.

Snyder Park has been transformed into a vaccination site after traffic congestion near Holiday Park made that site no longer feasible. Snyder Park is also bigger and will have more vaccination stations, with dozens of nurses inoculating those 65 and older who have an appointment. Trantalis said the health department moved the vaccination site from Holiday Park to Snyder Park in part because it was causing a traffic jam with drivers lining up on Federal Highway and the downtown area. The Holiday Park site is no longer providing vaccines. Those who received their first shot at Holiday Park will need to visit Snyder Park for the second dose, using the date on the back of the card given at the time of the first shot.

Those people “should go to Snyder Park to receive their second dose on the date written on their appointment card at the time they arrived for their first dose,” health officials say. People who got their first #COVID19vaccine at Holiday Park before January 22, 2021 should go to Snyder Park to receive their second dose on the date written on their appointment card at the time they arrived for their first dose. “The transition to the new location will enhance service and traffic flow,” health officials say. People who got their first dose at Tradewinds Park, Vista View Park, Markham Park, Central Broward Regional Park or Coral Square Mall without making an appointment through the new phone system don’t need to make an appointment for their second dose, officials say. Finally, health officials remind people returning for second doses that they must bring their vaccination card with them.
