Attention Ada tennis players - the courts are calling.

Thanks to a community effort by a tennis courts resurfacing fundraiser that started last fall the courts' upgrade is now complete.

The renovation project cost $66,075 and funding is also very close to being completed.

The costs included $55,125 for an asphalt overlay and acrylic resurfacer, plus $10,950 to remove and replace fence fabric with tension wire.

Funding includes:
$29,235           NatureWorks grant
$14,155           Local contributions
$10,000           United States Tennis Association grant
$10,000           United States Tennis Association grant

The acrylic resurfacer, painting the surface, layout and stripe the courts took place this week.

The colors selected for the courts are tournament purple, inside the courts  - and sandstone, outside the courts, which complement Ada school colors used at the stadium and swimming pool.
