Do you remember the Round Lake Tennis Courts? That’s them in the photo to the left. They’re gone. History. Poof.
The tennis courts were in rough shape. The City is engaged in a project right now to reconstruct them. We hired a construction company to remove the old courts, reshape the soil, and to build new courts and fencing. There were eight courts in the past. There will be eight courts in the future.
The cost of the project is around $400,000. We had $500,000 in our budget, so the current economic situation seams to have produced a good project cost for us. The City and the School District are splitting the cost of this project 50%-50%. We use the tennis courts for our programming and for general public use. The School District uses the courts for its athletic programs. It’s a fair way to split the costs.
They’re gone, but they’ll be back — hopefully by the start of September. Perhaps the end of August.
