Excerpt from the Audubon Park Master Plan indicating specific public meetings for Tennis Courts (section 4.0 Building on Success page 46)
The Audubon Park Tennis Courts are a popular programmed
attraction in the Park for local and regional players and students
learning the sport. The facility has 10 courts that are widely used
throughout the year and at various times of day at Audubon Park.
In meetings with the Audubon Tennis Club and other advocates,
several areas for improvement were suggested:
• Addressing fence damage and problem areas
• Resurfacing of the courts and continued maintenance
• Safety of tennis players during baseball games
• Modernization of restrooms and clubhouse
• Investigate lighting of the courts for night time play
The Audubon Park Tennis Courts have an area of formal, paved
parking as well as an informal gravel parking lot shared with
Avenger Field. To support the surplus of visitors, there is an
opportunity for reconfiguration of the existing gravel lot to
accommodate more spaces while still being mindful of existing
trees and green space. Any potential change to the tennis courts
and surrounding area would need to be evaluated and discussed
in public meetings to gather input and finalize decisions.
