MAXWELL COURTS
 
OVERDUE HAIRCUT 
 
Remember the heavy branches overhanging courts 4 and 5 at Maxwell?
 Sonoma County Regional Parks has given the nearby stand of trees
a careful haircut, and healthful pruning.
Result:  no more overhanging branches, and, we hope,
a reduction in accumulated moisture and more light to help dry the courts.  
Regional Parks will continue to work with the Ecology Center to monitor
the welfare of these trees.

BLENDED LINES 

 

Courts 1 and 2 at Maxwell have a new look.  USTA has advised us that they will make an award of $3,000 in grant funds to assist with the Maxwell resurfacing (total project cost:$18,750), and they specifically directed that the total work include blended lines on the courts for junior play.  We agreed to do two courts, and you will see the lines, in a pale blue, that lay out a 60' court on court #2, and two 36' courts on court #1.

Blended lines are a major component of the USTA's national 10 and Under Tennis initiative, and are being adopted across the country.
