Puryear Park Cancha Closed for Renovations Plus Tournament Bracket
Puryear Park Cancha Closed for Renovations Plus Tournament Bracket
Editors Note: This is our first story to be posted on Pelota Press in 4 months and it is no coincidence it had to be due to Hurricane Helene. I’ll have details and lots of photos later to explain. But first, a public notice that needs to go out:




America’s first and only public jai-alai court is closed for several days this week in preparation for the annual “Scott King” Sunshine City Jai-alai tournament scheduled for this weekend.
Workers are fixing the cancha’s damage from Hurricane Milton along with filling in the cracks and holes on the walls and floors from the brutal beating it takes with the millions of Matt Balls slamming on it (Belota and RG3 throws – not Magic Mike’s!).
On Thursday, the court walls will be painted with a fresh coat of green, covering up the white markings from the balls taping coming off and the faded paint.
The court is scheduled to be open on Friday as players from all over the county be able to practice for the weekend festivities that start at 10am Saturday.
The Pelota Press will have details later this week on the tournament.
Here is bracket so far:
