2 permits issued to the Tuscaloosa Tennis Center

The City of Tuscaloosa held a groundbreaking for the Tuscaloosa Tennis Center expansion and Jaycee Park upgrades project a few weeks ago. This past week, two permits for $9.9 million each were approved for the expansion project.

The Tennis Center expansion includes:

17 new outdoor courts with player and spectator seating
A new restroom and concession building
An improved facade
Lighting upgrades

The Tuscaloosa Tennis Center, which is managed by PARA, opened in 2015 and currently has 10 outdoor courts and three indoor courts. The expansion project will bring the total courts to 30.

Construction is expected to be complete in the fall of 2025.
