The major renovation of all the existing seven tennis courts began on Monday, April 28. This much-needed renovation will take place throughout the summer months, and no more than three courts will be out of use at one time. The renovation will be in three stages. Each stage will take about six weeks to complete. The overall tennis renovation should be completed by the end of September. This reserve-funded project is a huge enhancement to our tennis facilities. The life of a Har-Tru (clay) tennis court is about 20 years, so we are past due.
As well as the courts being refurbished, all the existing lights will be upgraded to brighter LED lights. The LED lights for courts 1-5, and the new pickleball courts will be installed within one to two months. LED lights will be replacing the existing halogen lights. When you turn on a halogen light, it takes about five to ten minutes for the lights to get to full brightness. With the new LED lights, they can turn off and on like a light switch at home, and are brighter than the halogen lights. A master timer switch was installed about one month ago, so if you forget to turn the lights off at night, the master timer will shut off all the lights automatically. Also, the perimeter fencing, windscreens, and tennis nets, will be replaced during this project.
Now, how do I go about getting a facelift, since I have been here 25 years as well?
