The much-needed renovation of Glades Pioneer Park furthers the Orange Bowl’s commitment to youth sports in the South Florida community. The park serves as the playing site for several teams from the Glades Youth Football League, which is a current member of the Orange Bowl Youth Football Alliance (OBYFA). In addition, many current and former NFL players from the area have used the field to conduct youth football camps.
