This is a pilot project to incorporate benches/seating at the tennis courts at Dottie Jordan Park. The tennis players typically have to bring their own seating into the courts.

After 3 design workshops and a presentation to the University Hills Neighborhood Association we have a design! We now need volunteers to coordinate fabrication and installation!
