The Marguerite Tennis Center Capital Improvement Project is underway with demolition of the existing clubhouse on Tuesday, making way for a new, larger facility to serve the community.
The capital improvement project, which will improve the aging facility for the people of all ages its serves, started last week and is expected to be finished by summer 2012.
The improvements call for eliminating one tennis court to make way for a new entrance to the Tennis Center and Aquatics Center. The small parking lot next to Marguerite Parkway will be demolished and replaced by a picnic and gathering area. The facility will have natural seating in the hillside overlooking the courts and a new parking lot that will accommodate more vehicles. The improvements include a turnaround at the plaza entrance and the ability to enter and exit the parking lot from Casta Del Sol, adding more safety features to the facility. Two new tennis courts will be added and new lighting will replace the 40-year-old lighting.
The work will limit activity at the center located at 23840 Marguerite Parkway to recreational play only. All organized leagues, lessons, clinics, and programs will be moved to the Felipe Tennis Center and the Montanoso and Sierra Recreation Centers. For more information, call 949-859-4348 ext. 4.
