VENUS WILLIAMS DRAWS ATTENTION at NEW TENNIS CENTER in WELLINGTON

Tennis Star, Venus Williams makes a very special stay in Wellington, Florida last Tuesday to help celebrate the opening of the brand new $5 million tennis facility, The Wellington Tennis Center, off Lyons Road.
The Wellington Tennis Center made its grand opening with the five time Wimbledon champ and 20 year resident of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida and Venus Williams was greeted by an excited audience of over 200 South Florida residents.
Williams stated that she would like to see more municipal courts in South Florida, calling Wellington’s new center “beautiful” compared to others she has seen. “It has energy about it as well,” she said. “You can see how the community has embraced it. I’ve never seen this many people excited about tennis in a long time.” "The new tennis center is 4,506 square foot facility that features 21 self-irrigated Har-Tru® clay courts; a canvas covered roof-top balcony and a pro-shop. Six Tennis Professionals are on staff and available on staff offering private and group lessons. "
“Williams’ interior design company, Jupiter-based V Starr Interiors, was a sub-contractor on the village project and helped decorate the 4,500-square-foot clubhouse and pro shop. The final look is a simple one, with beige and cream walls and brown carpet throughout.” View of the new Wellington Tennis Center!
Several Village Council members commented with awe about the large show of support for the new facility and Vice Mayor John Greene praised the council’s show of “real courage and vision to make some tough decisions.” “As much as we want to brag about these great courts — and it’s certainly the envy of most municipalities in Palm Beach County — this is about the residents,” Greene said. “This is about bringing people together; this is about enjoying our lives in Wellington.”
