“As a kid born and raised in Hialeah — 7min from The Yards — my ‘yard’ was where I had some of my best childhood memories.”

Homegrown actor, singer, and entrepreneur Jencarlos Canela had a vision to create a space right at home where his community can gather, savor local flavors, network with other individuals, play sports, and enjoy from a wide range of entertainment. The Yards at Amelia is the culmination of all of these dreams.

 “Our venue was created by the locals for the locals and everyone looking for a place to feel at home,” shares business partner Dennis Rodriguez. “We are proud to be the first and only indoor facility in our city with eight indoor pickleball courts and a singles tennis practice court, fostering a creative space that celebrates the love of pickleball and sports overall equipped with a mega screen and TVs for watch-parties.”

​

Beyond sports and entertainment, The Yards also features a vast outdoor space where individuals can savor a variety of foods from local businesses. “Our food and beverages offer homestyle comfort, infused with local flavors from the diverse cultures that make up our community,” shares business partner Alex Ruiz.

“The Yards is an open canvas, and you can expect it to evolve with new experiences that reflect the desires of our community members — We are, and will continue to be, a sports and entertainment social club.”
