To: Kirby Park Members and
All Area Tennis Players
From: Bill Eydler, Tennis Director
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 2010. 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 have been resurfaced with the US Open blue and green colors
with the remaining four set to be resurfaced this season. Four courts are lighted for night play
with upgraded lighting planned by the City in the near future.
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 the 2008 Men's 4.0 Sectional Championship USTA team, 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.
