New Territory Tennis Center

This new tennis facility replaces the existing pro shop with a larger, more welcoming soap featuring a shaded front porch, pro shop, equipment area, and restrooms on the main level; plus a spacious covered observation deck above with views of all eight surrounding courts.

A 35-foot long elevated boardwalk between courts will add even more viewing opportunities, perfect for tournaments and community gatherings.
