Renovation Begins

9:15 AM  Chris Welles, CCM   0

Renovation to the indoor tennis courts at Willow Oaks began on Monday, May 21 bright and early. The first stage of the project is the removal of the court material and the plastic piping from the old underground watering system. Hundreds of tons of clay and gravel is being removed in order to reach the original floor level when the building was constructed.
