Big things are happening on the courts in Wellington! The Wellington Tennis Center has just unveiled six brand-new courts, marking a major expansion that’s set to serve up more play opportunities for tennis enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. This exciting development is one of the most significant public tennis investments in Palm Beach County in recent years, and it’s a game-changer for the local community.

Thanks in part to a $200,000 grant from the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program (FRDAP), which helps local governments create and improve public outdoor recreation spaces, the center is now better equipped to host everything from casual matches to competitive programming. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just picking up a racket for the first time, there’s a court waiting for you.

The expansion was celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 7, 2026, drawing a star-studded lineup of village leaders, USTA Florida representatives, and passionate members of the local tennis scene. Among the attendees were Wellington Mayor Michael J. Napoleone, Vice Mayor Maria S. Antuña, council members Amanda Silvestri, Stephen A. Levin, and Johnny Meier, Village Manager Jim Barnes, and USTA Florida President Chuck Gill, who also serves as the Director of Tennis at the Wellington Tennis Center. WTC Supervisor James Smith was on hand as well, highlighting the collaborative effort behind this milestone.

This expansion isn’t just about adding courts—it’s about growing the sport and bringing the community together. With more space for lessons, leagues, and open play, the Wellington Tennis Center is poised to become a hub for tennis lovers across the region. So grab your racket, lace up your sneakers, and get ready to hit the court—there’s never been a better time to play in Wellington!
