TENNIS COURT CLOSURES

Various parts of the tennis courts will be closed during the month of September to be resurfaced.

PHASE ONE: The work will begin on Monday (8/30) with courts 1-6 closed off. Courts 7-8 and the pickleball/hitting area will be fully open for Austin HS to use. Courts 5-6 to be the first area worked on. Once courts 5-6 are completed, they will be open for use by Austin HS as courts 3-4 then 1-2 are worked on in succession. This will allow more and more courts to be opened over phase 1, which will take approximately 2 weeks to complete (weather/rain dependent).

PHASE TWO: Phase 2 will begin on approximately September 13 (or as soon as Phase 1 is completed). During this time courts 7-8 and pickleball/hitting area will be closed. However, courts 1-6 will be fully open to Austin HS while the remaining areas are completed.

Check back often for the latest updates related to the beginning of the school year.

The Award-Winning Austin High Theatre will present their opening show of the season in just a few days. THE LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO takes place in Atlanta, Georgia, in December of 1939. Gone with the Wind is having its world premiere, and Hitler is invading Poland, but Atlanta’s elitist German Jews are much more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The family gets pulled apart and then mended together with plenty of comedy, romance, and revelations along the way. Events take several unexpected turns as the characters face where they come from and are forced to deal with who they really are. The show opens on September 16 and runs two weekends. Visit www.RedDragonPlayers.com for ticket information.
