AFA Project

  • North Bay Village (NBV) has been considering a partnership that would bring new recreational amenities and services for Treasure Island Elementary School (TIES) students, NBV residents, and the public, while minimizing taxpayer expense.
  • The Argentine Football Association (AFA) won an open bidding process to partner with NBV on the redevelopment of the NBV Public Works Lot on Galleon Street, which currently holds a condemned building, parking for sanitation trucks, and a sewer pump station set to be moved underground.
  • The site would then house the 1st-ever NBV community center and padel courts for the community to enjoy.

NBV Kids

North Bay Village organizes and hosts various activities and events for children across North Bay Village and their families.

These programs, many of them at no cost, are held throughout the year, including sports outings, athletic skills camps, art programs, summer camp, and more to provide a safe haven for kids to enjoy the outside, make new friendships, learn new things and grow as the youngest residents of North Bay Village.

Skills Camps

Children ages 5 to 15 can participate in athletic skills programs at different times of the year. In the winter and spring, the Village hosts a Basketball Skills Camp at the basketball courts at Treasure Island Elementary School. Children meet up in the evening for the chance to build their skills.
