Tennis Center Town Hall Meeting On Oct. 4

ROSWELL, GA — The city of Roswell will host a town hall meeting on Thursday to provide residents with an update on a proposal to bring a large-scale tennis center to the city.

The meeting hosted by Mayor Lori Henry will be held at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at the East Roswell Park Recreation Center. City Administrator Gary Palmer will provide attendees with an update on the proposed Krause tennis center timeline and a review of the proposed memorandum of understanding.

Jeff Leatherman, director of Roswell's Recreation, Parks, Historic and Cultural Affairs Department, will also give an overview of passive and active park definitions and current park policy process and proposed changes.

As readers recall, the city of Roswell was considering a memorandum of understanding for the Angela Krause Tennis, Pickleball and Fitness Center to be constructed on about 60 acres at Big Creek Park. That plan was pulled from consideration after widespread public outcry. City leaders chose not to move forward with a proposed memorandum of understanding that would have formally got the project off the ground.

The East Roswell Park Recreation Center is at 9000 Fouts Road.
