The Northside Spur Trail is envisioned to eventually connect Peachtree Battle Road to the trail, PATH says on its website. The connection to the tennis center and Northside Drive is the first phase of the spur project.
The Bitsy Grant Tennis Center was built in 1952 and is named after Bryan ‘Bitsy’ Grant, the most prominent southern tennis player of his era. Grant twice made the quarterfinals at Wimbeldon and made the semifinals of the U.S. Open in 1935.
