DENVER – The construction of Denver Tennis Park, located at 1560 South Franklin Street, is now complete. The new facility is the first publicly accessible youth-centered indoor/outdoor tennis facility in the Denver region and features seven indoor courts and six outdoor courts.
Hord Coplan Macht is the architect for the project and PCL Construction is the general contractor .
“This is a tremendous addition to the Denver tennis community, as well as to student athletes for the Denver Public Schools and Denver University,” said Kerri Block, PCL’s project manager for the Denver Tennis Park. “PCL is proud to deliver an outstanding tennis complex to the people supporting this effort and everyone who plays – or who wants to learn to play a great lifelong sport. As a company, we have completed numerous outstanding sports complexes, and this was another opportunity for us to provide athletes with a place where they can compete and enjoy the sport they love.”
The project scope also included regrading part of the surrounding athletic fields in order to divert storm runoff to a new 48,000 cubic-foot underground detention system. The main All City parking lot was replaced and all three parking lots as the site benefited from safety, access and aesthetic enhancements.
The mission of Denver Tennis Park Inc., a new non-profit organization, is to foster whole child development for youth of all ages and abilities both on and off-site. The initiative is a collaboration of the Denver Tennis Park, the University of Denver, and Denver Public Schools. The project has been funded philanthropically and Denver Public Schools has provided funds for a portion of the drainage work at the site. Fundraising efforts are underway as part of a capital campaign.
The brand-new facility is slated to be open to the public mid-November, 2018.
