Plans have been approved for the tennis courts between the middle schools (Upper and Lower) to be rebuilt this fall/winter through a shared services agreement by the municipality and the public schools. According to plans, the new tennis courts will be available for student use as well as public use during non-school hours by early next year.

Mayor Ed Trzaska has been advocating for this recreation facility enhancement as part of the Township's ongoing parks improvement initiative. He said, "It really made sense and saved money to work together with the schools.  It has been a pleasure to work with the Board of Education and President Rick Cavalli to better meet the recreational needs of residents and students in this way. I'm excited to see the new tennis complex open soon!"

The end of a 40-year lease between Montgomery Township and the Montgomery Township School District was recognized as a window of opportunity by municipal and school leadership. The ten courts located on Burnt Hill Road between the Upper Middle School and Lower Middle School get a great deal of use and have been showing their age of late.

Montgomery Township School District Superintendent Nancy Gartenberg concurred with the mayor. "Both the Township and Board of Education are in need of new tennis courts.  Tennis courts are a part of the instructional day for our middle school students and are in high demand after hours by our community partners.  Many of our referendum projects were aimed at promoting the health, safety and wellness of our students.  We are thrilled to work with the township to restore the maximum number of courts for our community."
