Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Cecil Park Tennis Courts Renovation and Expansion Project
Held October 21, 2008

The Board of County Commissioners and the Department of Recreation and Parks hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for the Cecil Park Tennis Courts Renovation and Expansion Project on Tuesday, October 21, 2008.  Attendees included the Commissioners, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) Maryland Chapter President, St. Mary’s County Tennis Association members and County staff. 

The project included the renovation and resurfacing of two existing courts and the construction of two new courts.  The new tennis facilities feature Premier® court surfacing which provides a softer, more user friendly surface for tennis players of all ages and abilities. Representatives from the USTA Maryland and the St. Mary’s County Tennis Association were recognized for their assistance with the project.  American Tennis Courts, Inc. was also recognized for construction of the project.
