The renovation of 1970s-era tennis courts and the pro shop near Patterson Park just off Airport Boulevard will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the coming weeks. The Burnett “Blondie” Pharr Tennis Center now meets accessibility requirements and has refurbished courts, plus energy-efficient sports lighting, among other improvements. On top of that, local artists Rakhee Jain Desai and Melissa Knight convened with community members for ideas on their on-site sculpture “Harmonic Strings,” which was inspired by the energy and camaraderie of tennis. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 10 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, at 4201 Brookview Road. Learn more about the Pharr Tennis Center renovation here.
