Rio Verde tennis courts being resurfaced

Contractor General Acrylics is scheduled to start a project to resurface the tennis courts at Rio Verde Tennis Club the last week in July.

This project will be completed in two phases, starting with courts 1-3. Once these courts have been resurfaced and are playable, workers will move to courts 4-6.

“We anticipate that three of the tennis courts will be accessible at all times during this project,” RVCA Executive Director Kevin Hearty said in a statement sent to members.

Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed within three to four weeks.

Anyone with questions regarding the work may contact the RVCA Office at 480-471-2068.
