Folkes-Stevens Tennis Center Opens

The Folkes-Stevens Indoor Tennis Center, which tennis director Darryl Cummings calls “one of the top five such tennis centers in America,” opened Sept. 29.

It features eight indoor courts, locker rooms, conference room, pro shop, and elevated and courtside seating for up to 1,200. Complementing the new venue are 12 outdoor courts.

Named for local residents Grey Folkes and Ricky Stevens in recognition of their contributions of $500,000 each, the center is open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.

Annual family and individual memberships are $400 and $250, respectively, with court costs of $30 for prime time and $20 for non-prime time (two-hour time slots). Contract time slots are also available. For more information call 645-8506.
