Ongoing project repairing, resurfacing city athletic courts

posted on 3/8/2026

A city contractor is in the process of repairing and resurfacing a number of city-owned athletic courts as part of a Capital Improvements Project.

Currently, the contractor, Pine State Asphalt, is removing the court surface at the Frances G. Hopkins Elementary School on Horne Street. Removal is slated to begin on the Woodman Park basketball court next week. The court at Applevale Park will also be removed and replaced. The paving of these courts is temperature-dependent and is anticipated to occur in April and/or May. Once paved, the courts will need 30 days to cure, at which time the courts cannot be used.

The Woodman Park tennis court and the courts at Longhill Park will receive crack repair. The pickleball court at Garrison Park will be resurfaced, along with the Park Street and Hancock parks.

Affected courts will remain fenced and closed during construction.
