Historical Information
This is the location of the City's Tennis Center. Three separate sections were acquired over a period of time and the City eventually had 30 acres of property. The property was given to the City before 1979, prior to there being any requirements for land dedication from developers. Five acres were given to WXEL as the public television station grew.
The Tennis Center was built in three different phases. There are 17 Har-Tru and four composite courts. Adjacent to the tennis courts and the Pro-Shop are canopy areas with tables and chairs. The west side of the property backs up to a lake and in the center of the property is a small pond. There are wetlands on the property planted with native vegetation.
Future plans include building a barrier free (accessible) playground and park with a small recreation center. Amenities will include three play areas for people with differing abilities, a picnic pavilion, restroom, picnic areas, a water play feature, trails, public art, and native landscaping.
