Barton Hill Tennis Courts to Close for Renovation

In anticipation of the upcoming renovation project, the tennis courts at Barton Hill will close after June 30. Pending contract approval, work on the renovation project will begin in July. Staff made the decision to close courts at this time as cracking in the courts has led to unsafe conditions for play. Neighbors in the area are also asked to avoid using the parking lot immediately adjacent to the courts, as construction crews will be using this area for staging and access to the site. The Barton Hill tennis project will provide a complete court renovation, including a new asphalt surface, fencing, nets, and color coating. Work is expected to be completed next spring.

Additional information is found on the Barton Hill Tennis Project page.
