$26M Renovation Planned For Golden Gate Park Tennis Center

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a $26 million renovation for the 124-year-old Golden Gate Park Tennis Center.

The renovations will include a new clubhouse, professional standard courts and expanded operations.

The renovations could start as early as 2019 with a reopening planned for 2020, when Golden Gate Park turns 150 years old.

"The history of Golden Gate Park Tennis Center is a point of civic pride for our city," Mayor Mark Farrell said in a statement. "Once we transform it into the best public tennis facility in the nation, its future will be a point of civic pride."

The vote was taken at the Board's regular meeting on Tuesday.
