Berens Park Tennis Court Replacement Engineering (2025)

Due to the age of the Berens Park tennis courts, staff propose engaging an engineering firm to develop construction drawings, assist with permitting, and create project manual and specifications documents to replace the Berens Park tennis courts ($34,000). The courts were installed in 2004 and capped with a slip sheet system in 2014 to extend their life. The courts and slip system are now deteriorating. The project will include replacing the promenade, north and south courts (12 total), moving the lighting to the perimeter of the south courts and designing the lighting to meet DarkSky Initiative certification. The DarkSky program provides objective, third-party certification for lighting products, lighting designs, and installed lighting projects that minimize glare, reduce light trespass, and reduce light pollution. Staff propose funding this project with Recreation Fund reserves ($34,000).

This project falls under the Elevate Elmhurst Parks Priority of Invigorated Parks.
