1. Maintenance and Repairs
   The shoulder seasons provides an ideal window for conducting necessary maintenance and repairs. This can include sweeping and washing the courts, fixing cracks, and ensuring the nets and fencing are in good condition. Regular upkeep during this period helps prevent more significant issues that could arise during peak usage times.
2. Weather Conditions
    The unpredictable weather during the shoulder seasons, including potential frost, rain, and fluctuating temperatures, can negatively affect the court surfaces. Keeping the courts during this time prevents damage caused by these conditions, ensuring the courts remain safe and playable when reopened.
3. Safety Concerns
   Wet or icy surfaces can be hazardous for players, increasing the risk of slips and falls. By closing the courts during the shoulder seasons, we prioritize the safety of our community members and reduce the likelihood of injuries.
4. Cost Efficiency
   Performing maintenance and repairs during the shoulder seasons is more cost-effective than addressing emergency repairs during peak season. This proactive approach helps manage budget allocations more efficiently and ensures the courts are in top condition for high-demand periods.
5. Environmental Impact
   Closing the courts during the shoulder season reduces the environmental impact associated with frequent unpredictable weather-related openings and closures. It allows for a period of rest, contributing to the sustainability of our facilities.

Closing the tennis courts during the spring and fall allows us to perform essential maintenance and repairs, protect the surface from weather-related damage, and ensure user safety.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to maintain safe, high-quality courts for the community.
