In the spring of 2014 the
city of Phoenix began a major, $4 million restoration project at the
Phoenix Tennis Center. The project consisted of demolishing all 23
courts and constructing 25 new courts from the ground up.
Larry Sims, an avid fan and tennis player at the tennis center,
chronicled the project with these photos. |

Remember the old courts
The initial phase of the project was to tear up the old courts. The cement from the old courts was crushed and saved for use as the base of the new courts.
