Saint-Martin District tennis courts reopen

Under renovation since the fall of 2008, the work was completed last July 23, following several delays caused by poor weather. Total cost of the renovations was $170,000.

"The playing surface was badly damaged. Something had to be done. In the end, while the fences remained the same, the playing surface was completely redone and all equipment, including nets and posts, was replaced," Explained Janique Letellier, coordinator at BML (Municipal Office of Recreation) 3.

"The Tennis Courts at Saint-Martin Park go back to 1988. The facilities were greatly used in the past and we expect the same in the future," stated Alexandre Duplessis, Saint-Martin District city councilor, tennis racket in hand to celebrate the occasion.

Also in attendance at the happy event was Tennis Laval president Marius Brisson.
