Met my first friend in Boulder on the Centennial Tennis Courts!

I moved to Boulder in 1973. Signed up for a tennis class through City Parks/Rec. Met Betsy who has become a lifelong friend. Subsequently played BTA ladder matches all over those city courts. Then watched my 2 boys learn to play and compete with CARA programs through the city. For the last 30 years, I have been playing league tennis through BTA, watching sadly as the city courts sprout weeds and develop dangerous cracks and actually become embarrassing when hosting a team from another facility. It's time for the City to dedicate some resources to renovating some of the existing courts and building new ones. Why can't we have a facility like Arvada's APEX Center with indoor public courts as well as new lighted outdoor courts? There are thousands of folks in the Boulder area who cannot, or do not want to, join a private club. Tennis has become a sport for the masses and Boulder needs to keep up!
