FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Today, April 1, the City hosted a First Look event for community members to get a glimpse of The Courts at Glenville Lake, 730 Filter Plant Drive, from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.  

Attendees explored the tennis center before the official grand opening and connected with the Fayetteville-Cumberland Parks and Recreation team to learn about the programming opportunities that will be offered. 

"There’s still work happening, but we wanted to open the doors early so our community can see the progress and be part of the excitement as we get closer to opening," Mayor Mitch Colvin stated.

The 6,594-square-foot tennis center will feature 11 tennis courts, one of which will be used as a championship competition court, four pickleball courts, locker rooms, a lounge, a learning area and a pro shop.

"We’re looking forward to officially opening the center soon and will be planning a ribbon cutting in the near future," Mayor Colvin shared.

As an attraction for beginners and seasoned players, the facility will serve youth and adult tennis programs for both instruction and competition.
