Palm Coast is celebrating an approved grant agreement with the United States Tennis Association that will allow the city to build additional tennis courts at the Southern Recreation Center.

On June 18, the Palm Coast City Council approved a grant agreement with the USTA, funding $700,000 to cover the construction of additional tennis courts at the Southern Recreation Center on Belle Terre Parkway. The facility currently has 10 tennis courts and 12 pickleball courts, and the city is adding its first stadium court and four clay courts on the grounds, according to a city press release.

The Recreation Center has “programs and tournaments for all,” regardless of a players’ level, the press release said.

Palm Coast has served as part of the USTA’s Florida Tennis Trail for year, including hosting the annual USTA M25 — the Palm Coast Open — for over 10 years, the press release said. Even dating back to ITT’s design for the city in the 1970s, Palm Coast was always meant to have community development through recreational activities like tennis.
