NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Just in time for the 4th of July holiday weekend, the city celebrated the reopening of renovated tennis facilities. And the brand-new tennis and pickle ball courts are already a hot item.

The New Rochelle Department of Parks and Recreation held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the new and improved Pinebrook Tennis Center. After a year of being closed for $1.1 million in renovations, the center now has:

  • Eight new Laykold courts, with two lined for pickleball
  • Post-tensioned concrete, sealed and finished surface
  • US Open-color playing surface with white court lines
  • New posts and nets
  • New fencing, bleachers and benches
  • Painted restrooms with surrounding areas paved

"The recent improvements at the Pinebrook Tennis Center truly change the face of this facility," Commissioner Vin Parise said. "The total reconstruction of the tennis courts, a new foundation identical to the US Open courts, along with the installation of new fencing, allows New Rochelle residents to play at a top notch tennis facility. We are equally excited about the addition of pickleball courts, a sport that is growing in popularity by the day."
