Leon County Celebrates Tennis and Pickleball Courts at Chaires Community Park
Just in time for cooler weather, Leon County Government opens four new pickleball courts while also improving four tennis courts at the Daniel B. Chaires Community Park, 4768 Chaires Cross Rd.
“The new and improved courts at Leon County’s Chaires Community Park continue to expand our community’s outdoor offerings more and more,” said Leon County Commission Chairman Nick Maddox. “All of these facilities give citizens exciting ways to remain active and stay social, building new connections in this wonderful place we call home.”
Renovations include resurfacing and relining of four existing tennis courts, the addition of four lined pickleball courts within two of the tennis courts, and the enhancement of court lighting to LED at the proper height for tennis and pickleball play.
“The County’s latest renovations show our commitment to having public parks that provide the quality of life our neighbors have come to expect from Leon County,” said Leon County District 5 Commissioner David O’Keefe. “Chaires Community Park continues to be an exceptional facility for all of our community, and I’m proud of our County’s ongoing commitment to such green spaces.”
The Daniel B. Chaires Community Park also includes basketball courts, little league fields, community center and a playground for residents to enjoy. All of the amenities at Chaires Community Park, along with all offerings across the County Parks system, directly align with the County’s goal of promoting livability, health and a sense of community by supporting strong neighborhoods, enhancing mobility and creating public spaces for people of all ages.
“The County’s continued investment at Chaires Community Park demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhancing spaces for residents of all ages and abilities,” said Leon County Administrator Vincent S. Long. “The County Parks team has done a great job bringing the Chaires Park amenities up to our highest standards to provide the opportunity for residents to enjoy what our outdoor spaces have to offer.”
