SoLé Mia Unveils Largest Floating Pickleball Court in North Miami

SoLé Mia, the 184-acre master-planned community in North Miami from LeFrak and Turnberry, has added a genuinely singular amenity to its roster: a floating pickleball court built directly on the water. At 69 by 33 feet, the custom court sits on Laguna SoLé, the community’s seven-acre swimmable Crystal Lagoon, and was constructed by Inflatable Island. It is being called the largest and first floating pickleball court of its kind at any residential property in the country, and the SoLé Mia branding built into the playing surface, in a blue that matches the lagoon, makes it hard to miss.

The court is reserved for residents and their accompanied guests, open Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. Access runs first-come, first-served and is managed by the property’s lifeguard team, with life jackets, paddles, and balls provided for one-hour singles or doubles sessions. “This floating pickleball court is a natural extension of that vision, offering residents and visitors a truly unique amenity that activates the Crystal Lagoon in a new way,” said Mario Gaztambide, Senior Managing Director of Residential Properties at LeFrak.

The floating court joins a growing list of recreation-driven additions at SoLé Mia, including The Loop, the community’s expanded walking and biking path network that now connects to Oleta River State Park and Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay campus, as well as Reserve Padel at SoLé Mia and UHealth SoLé Mia, the University of Miami Health System’s 363,000-square-foot medical facility. More than 1,000 residents already live across the development’s Shoreline, Villa Solé, Villa Laguna, and ONE Park Tower buildings, part of a $4 billion buildout that continues to expand.
