The Fountain Hills Town Council unanimously approved a staff request to apply for grant funds to resurface tennis and basketball courts at town parks at its March 18 meeting.
Community Services Director Kevin Snipes told the council it is time to resurface tennis courts at Golden Eagle and Four Peaks parks and the basketball courts at Golden Eagle. He said they were last resurfaced in 2016 with an acrylic coating expected to last eight to 10 years. The courts are showing signs of wear.
The grant application will go to the Arizona Sports & Tourism Authority with a request for a $120,000 project. The grant would pay $90,000 with the town to pay $30,000 for the work. The project will also include fence and windscreen repairs.
