Mark your calendars, baseball aficionados and softball enthusiasts. It looks like Pembroke Pines is the place to be this summer for anyone looking to enjoy America's favorite pastime. On July 12, Flamingo Park will be transformed for the annual Mayor's Playball event, a partnership between Pembroke Pines, the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM), and Major League Baseball, supporting the spirit of the game among the youth. According to an announcement from the city of Pembroke Pines, families can expect a lively morning filled with a "Hit, Pitch, Run event," alongside other baseball-related activities and entertainment.

Free snacks and fun are promised from 10 AM to 12 PM, with organizers dishing out classic game-day treats like cotton candy, popcorn, and hotdogs, all on the house. And if that's not tempting enough to get you to swing by, consider the additional allure of music, games, and a trove of surprises in store for attendees. The event is a hit with not just the kids, who come for the excitement, but also with parents who appreciate the community spirit and the encouragement of physical activity. It's a home run combination of food, fun, and fitness.

Open to boys and girls of all ages and abilities, the event aims not just to entertain but also to foster sportsmanship and skills. As stated on the City of Pembroke Pines website, all are welcome to participate, making it a diverse and inclusive outing.
