Parks and Recreation City Tennis Courts to be Closed for Upgrades

The Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department recently completed an upgrade to existing tennis court lighting at the Pershing Park tennis courts, 100 Castillo St.

In addition to new LED lighting, SBCC is also coordinating a resurfacing project for all eight Pershing Park tennis courts. Tennis courts will be closed May 31-June 10 during the project work.

In addition to Pershing Park’s tennis court upgrade, Parks and Recreation also has plans to repair existing court fencing, access gates and windscreens at the Municipal Tennis and Pickleball courts, 1414 Park Place. The repairs will prolong the life of the facility while ensuring the safety of all visitors.

The project is scheduled to run May 31-June 3, and the entire facility will be closed during the four-day period to ensure the safety of players and avoid project delays.

Recommendations for tennis and pickleball play during the facility closures:

Elings Park tennis courts
Oak Park tennis courts
City of Goleta tennis and pickleball courts
