Tennis News
Happy New Year tennis players! In an effort to keep our tennis patrons updated, we want to inform you on a number of projects that are underway. Our new tennis booking system at Forestmeadows is working very well with most of the tennis players getting the time requested. We are still in the process of determining if we will be able to upgrade our phone system to be able to accommodate a system that would provide a sequential order to the calls. Even without that element, court bookings are proceeding smoothly.
Second, the tree removal along the back side of courts 10-13 at Forestmeadows was completed and the outcome of the court playability has so far been quite favorable. Only time will tell how effective this project is as the courts become colder during the winter. In addition, construction of the shaded areas on those courts will commence in January and the front portion of our perimeter fence was installed in December. This is to assure your safety at the Forestmeadows site. Patrons will only be able to enter and leave the courts through the Forestmeadows building. It is our plan to add an additional "pay as you go" league after the fence is installed.
And lastly, the ballroom floor was replaced at Forestmeadows to enhance everyone's experiences in our fitness classes. The new floor is specifically designed for sport classes. Tallahassee Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Affairs are excited about all the positive changes that are taking place in tennis. Feel free to contact me directly if there are any questions, concerns, or comments.
