Tennis Over Pickleball
The project will entail constructing a new post-tension concrete pickleball court over the existing tennis courts and will include the removal of the old chain link fence and the installation of a new black vinyl-coated chain link fence, as detailed in Slemmer’s memo. The new court will be striped for six pickleball courts.
