Please sign the petition below for Beaufort County Public Tennis Facilities (Hilton Head and Bluffton)
The Town of Hilton Head and Beaufort County (on behalf of Bluffton) are considering plans to build new full-service public tennis centers on- and off-island, respectively. (As of this writing) The Hilton Head plan calls for approximately 24 courts (possibly 16 soft, 8 hard), and the Bluffton plan includes 16 courts with mix of court surfaces as yet unspecified.
As tennis players, future tennis players, and supporters of the sport, we support these plans and look forward to facilities which complement current and future needs and demographics, invite high levels of utilization by players of all ages, grow the game at the grass roots community level, grow the game through expanded team and league play, and support events which are good for the community and have a positive economic impact.
We are supporters of tennis, a sport with proven and exceptional lifelong health, social, and educational benefits. We are a diverse group. We live both outside and inside of communities with courts, yet we all clearly see the need for new public facilities for youth, adult, family and special needs recreation which are affordable and accessible to all.
We urge the town and county to complete their planning processes, consider opportunities to work together — including coordinated events involving courts at both centers — and begin construction of these facilities with a sense of urgency. Thank you!
