The Arlington Heights Park District is continuing to take its tennis programming and facilities game to the next level with the announcement of a major expansion and renovation of its 53,350 square-foot and nearly 45 year-old Heritage Tennis Club located on the north side of the city.

The transformative renovation will include improvements to the indoor court building, storm water management and will bring an additional 2,256 square-feet multi-purpose room to the north side of the club. No changes to the 47,500 sq. ft. of tennis courts are planned as part of this project.

When?

• Construction begins Monday, April 4, 2016

• New facility scheduled to reopen Fall 2016

What's Coming?

The $2.4 million dollar capital improvement project has been on the District’s long-range schedule for quite some time and since acquiring the facility in 1987. This will be the Club’s first major renovation since then and all funding for the project comes from revenue sources generated solely through the Heritage Tennis club operational budget, mainly membership fees and lessons revenue.
