Bayview Park Tennis Courts Repairing and Resurfacing

I'm happy to report that repairing and resurfacing on the six tennis courts at Bayview Park began last week. The work should take approximately two weeks depending on the weather.

The Bayview Park Tennis Courts are some of the most beautiful public courts I've had the pleasure of playing on. The Bayview Park Tennis Courts are enjoyed by citizens from all parts of the city. They're located in District 4, but they're only three blocks from District 5 and eight blocks from District 6.

The City Council also recently voted to add courts at Legion Field located in District 7 on the west side of the city of Pensacola.
