In addition to the seven new courts and other amenities such as shaded outdoor walkways, the T.H. “Curly” Vaughan Tennis Center also received a makeover and update including this room with a racquet stringing machine, TV and sitting area. (Donetta Godsey/Courier)
Six large, colorful perforated banners adorn the fence on the north side of the new Lucien Barbour Tennis Addition, welcoming people from the parking lot into the complex and adding a windbreak. Banners recognize the entities that will have tennis practices, lessons and competitions at the complex and whose partnership with the City of Winfield helped make the new facility a reality — Winfield High School, Southwestern College and the Winfield Recreation Commission.
