Noyes tennis courts to close for upgrades beginning Monday

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Local tennis players will need to seek a new playing spot for the next month while the Noyes Tennis Courts undergo a large resurfacing and light replacement project.

The city announced Thursday that the Noyes Tennis Courts will be closed starting Monday, June 9, while the project kicks off. The project is estimated to take around a month to complete, weather permitting.

During construction, the restroom building will also be closed. The Noyes football field and track remains closed during an ongoing St. Joseph School District renovation project.

Additionally, the lights at the tennis and horseshoe courts will be upgraded. During this closure, residents are encouraged to use the Northside Complex or Hyde Park courts.

City Council members approved a contract in March with Pro Track and Tennis, Inc. to resurface the tennis courts for $123,900 and an amendment accepting a $23,900 contribution from the St. Joseph School District for the project. Approximately $275,000 in parks sales tax funds will be used to replace the current lights.
