The Location
|
| Our primary venue will once again be Gates Tennis Center - an outdoor hard courts public tennis facility that has been ranked nationally in the "Top Ten" by Tennis magazine. In early 2008, Gates Tennis Facility completed an extensive renovation project including the building of a new club house/tennis pro-shop overlooking the tennis facility and was awarded the 2008 USTA Outstanding Large Public Facility of the year. Gates is located directly across the street from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center www.shopcherrycreek.com.
