Tennis Courts Get Grant for Griffin Park Improvements

A national grant and a public private partnership are behind improvements coming to the Griffin Park Tennis Courts which was accepted by the Pierre City Commission earlier this month.

City Parks and Recreation director Brian Tipton says this is the same grant which was applied for and received for the Labarge Courts last year heading into 2023…

Earlier this year, the USTA partnered with this same group of donors to repair and resurface two tennis courts at LaBarge Park. Commissioner Jamie Huizenga says you can see the results at Labarge Park…

The resurfacing project of the Griffin Park courts is scheduled for completion before the end of 2024 but Tipton says it won’t take long…

In 2020, grant funds from the South Dakota Community Foundation and a public private partnership led to the addition of shade canopies at the Griffin Park courts. The same year, the city added new shower and bathroom facilities adjacent to the Griffin Park courts.
