(see the attached sheet) The Advisory Board made the suggestion that there should be a design for the long term, but that something could be done now that fits in that plan. A play ground and the planting of trees were examples of what could be done now and not interfere with the long range Parks Master Plan. As planning is most important the Board requested the Kimzey group bring rough sketches of their ideas to the August meeting.

We have a core group of 1301adies who have committed to weekly tennis league play here in Colleyville, Tuesdays through Fridays. This has been done without the availability of securing reserved courts. This is an exclusive group by nature because we cannot provide youth league play or league play for any adults wishing or choosing to play in the evenings. The reason being there are no lighted courts in Colleyville, including no reserved courts. Just as we have seen, right here in Colleyville our commitments to the successes of our children have been accomplished in some very great opportunities provided through soccer, basketball, softball and baseball. We can then recognize our needs and desires for the commitments we can make, to offering opportunities for not just our wonderful children and youth's fitness, exercise, self esteem, sense of belonging and accomplishments along with fun and competitiveness, but for ALL AGES including the seniors in our community. Tennis is a life time sport. Tennis in Texas is a year-round sport. Tennis is a sport that offers allall ages, the very young to our seniors, an opportunity for fitness, exercise, health, fun, competition and social time. Tennis is a sport that can be enjoyed at any skill level. Tennis is a sport that can meet many of the needs in our community. Tennis is apro-active approach for children and adults, learning and enjoying a sport both independently or together for a healthier community. A Colleyville Lighted Tennis Center is a part of our INCLUSIVE message. We feel, the needs of our community can be met through this facility and the opportunities it can afford each individual. The Colleyville Lighted Tennis Center can be self sufficient. It would not require the same kinds of upkeep that soccer or baseball fields would require. The Colleyville Lighted Tennis Center can generate its own income from court usage fees and league membership fees, along with revenues generated from pros, clinics, and tournaments. We are suggesting the Colleyville Lighted Tennis Center would need to include 241ighted tennis courts and restroom/registration room. This should all be located at one site. This would help to make it a self sufficient center. Because our population is 16,500 and rapidly growing, and as The Tennis Courts Publication offers the formula for 20 courts for 15,000 people, thus we are suggesting 24 lighted courts. To host USTA tournaments and run effective clinics we would need 12 lighted courts, minimum. There are also many byproducts that our community can reap from this investment. High visibility of a city addressing the needs of its own community, interaction with neighboring communities, money generating tournaments and many more. Our community has tried to address the needs of it's people during the summer time with tennis camps. Jeanne Dearth has been a great provider of excellent tennis instruction and format of the tennis camps. But most of all, she is a catalyst for tennis involvement and enjoyment for all of those who have had the privilege of her expertise and her enthusiasm. As you can understand we have tennis being taught and yet no programs after these two week summer camps to continue the development of skills, talents and desires. As you have been able to hear and discern for yourself, the potential for our community to meet it's needs is real. We have helped define an approach and solution to meeting some of those very important needs. The Colleyville Lighted Tennis Center would enhance and enrich our community's opportunities for fitness, exercise, building self esteem, developing skills, talents, healthy attitudes and bodies, family and friend social times and competition for ALL AGES.
