A $1.3 million dollar tennis complex being built on the Prescott campus is said to be what “every community will want in the future“
The Yavapai Community College tennis center complex going up on the Prescott campus was recently described by Prescott Daily Courier columnist Chris Howard as consisting of “six post-tensioned concrete championship courts and a new stadium court — all with state-of-the-art lights, seating and viewing areas, 10 and under lines on the upper two courts, new and expanded tennis programs and no more crisis management.” He wrote that “This facility will be what every community will want to have in their future.”
He also reported that the Prescott Area Tennis Association had raised nearly $200,000 for the complex and the City of Prescott will give $25,000 and repave the parking lot between the new tennis facility and the baseball complex at Roughrider Park at a cost of about $80,000. County taxpayers will provide the remaining $1.1 million dollars of the estimated cost for the complex. To read more, click here.
The construction of the tennis area continues the Prescott tradition of building all athletic facilities on the Prescott campus. After more than 45 years, it has never constructed an athletic facility anywhere else in the County.
