The City of Hallandale Beach is currently in a phased partial reopening of our Parks as well as the City Marina and Hallandale Beach Cemetery  

Effective February 19, 2021, the playground at Joseph Scavo is closed due to regular and increased non-compliance with COVID park use mandates including social distancing, facial coverings, and gathering limitations. 

The Phase Two partial reopening now includes expanded Park Hours and open amenities while allowing limited neighborhood use of some park facilities.  After six months of closure to comply with Broward County Emergency Orders, playgrounds and fitness equipment in Hallandale Beach Parks are now open with guidelines for use.

The Phase Two reopening includes extended hours for Joseph Scavo Off-Leash Dog Park, and Tennis Courts and Racquetball Courts at OB Johnson and Peter Bluesten Parks.

The City welcomes its residents to enjoy our reopened facilities while adhering to specific guidelines and restrictions.  Please help us keep our facilities open by following all guidelines, rules and regulations.
