The nets are up on all ten courts and clean
up has been completed. I want to welcome back all the players who have supported local public park tennis and invite
all players to become members for 2008. The official season will run from May through September.
Kirby Park
is centrally located and offers ten recently renovated courts with quality nets, divider curtains and rol-drys. Six
courts are scheduled for resurfacing this summer in the US Open blue and green colors. Four courts are lighted for night play
with upgraded lighting.
Kirby Park Tennis has been and continues to be the hub of local competitive and
social tennis, it's WHERE THE ACTION IS!
Kirby Park is the home of Championship USTA teams,
home to PIAA and District 2 playoffs, home to the 2007 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Individual Tournament, and home to
both the King's College Monarch Tennis, Coughlin High School Tennis, and Holy Redeemer High School tennis. There are always
plenty of activities for players of all levels. We have plenty of courts, so no waiting around to play.
Programs
include: USTA Leagues, tournaments, group and private lessons and junior camps. Kirby Park has been home over
the years of many highly successful USTA Level of play teams. Our Junior Tennis Camp is the model many others
follow, call for information (714-9697). Each camper receives a camp t-shirt, free racket and, do two sessions and get
a FREE Jr. Membership. Contact Bill Eydler, Tennis Director for special programs and offers as
