Clubhouse Update!

I'm happy to report that significant progress has been made in recent weeks toward our goal of renovating the "Costume Guild Building" into our Davis Tennis Club clubhouse.

A "Staff Report" prepared by Jim Newman, Parks and General Services Superintendent, is recommending "City Council approval of a request from the Davis Tennis Club to renovate and enter into a long term lease with the City for the structure known as the Costume Guild Building at the Veteran's Memorial Center". This report will be presented to the Parks and Recreation Commission on Thursday, April 15th at 7 P.M. George Haver will attend the meeting to answer any questions.

Assuming approval, the recommendation will go before the City Council. After their expected approval and consent, the Davis Tennis Club board has committed to hiring Mak Design and Build, a local contractor, to develop a preliminary floor plan, preliminary specifications, and a cost estimate for construction.

In the weeks ahead I'll keep you posted on progress. Feel free to contact Davis Tennis Club board members, as well as attend our meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at 6 P.M. at the Community Courts to keep yourself informed.

Squeegee Protection

Dale has recently refurbished the squeegees on the high school tennis courts. They were in poor shape because students were removing them from the tennis courts and playing around with them in the park. Please help protect our squeegees by hanging them up on the fences away from court entrances, especially away from the front and side entrances to courts 1-3 (courts closest to parking lot).

Walnut Park Benches

The City of Davis Parks and Recreation department  has recently installed 6 new benches at the Walnut Park tennis courts.  These benches were purchased by the Davis Tennis Club in its continuing effort to enhance your tennis-playing experience.  The benches are similar to the sturdy blue benches that the club purchased for the high school courts 4 years ago.

Like the high school benches, the Walnut Park benches have spaces for commemorative plaques.  For $1,000, you may dedicate a bench to a person or persons of your choosing.  At this time, all 6 Walnut Park benches are available.  If you are interested in dedicating a bench, please contact Chris Dewees.

Proceeds from the dedications will be used to fund future court improvements.
