New Platform Tennis Courts Approved for Katonah Memorial Park

Improving the Katonah Memorial Park's platform tennis courts has long been a priority—even before the , according to William Heidepriem, superintendent of parks.

And those courts may be available for play before the summer's out.

This week the town board approved the selection of Connecticut-based RPTC LLC Reilly Green Mountain Platform Tennis as the firm to construct new courts with their bid of $155,542.

The other bid submitted was from Cincinatti-based Total Platform Tennis, at $169,900. Heidepriem said RPTC had been experience completing many courts in Westchester and New England for many decades and recommended that the board accept their low bid.

The courts will be paid primarily through a bond with the $5,500 overage coming from a capital fund surplus funds account, the board decided. This project is in addition to two other platform tennis courts located near the park's shelter.
