Saginaw Township Tennis and Pickleball Courts Project

Built in the 1970’s, the tennis courts at the George Olson Recreation Complex in Saginaw Township had been used by the general public, special athletic groups, and community schools for years and although annual maintenance had been performed, the six professional-size tennis courts were beginning to show their age. The court’s surface had become uneven enough that water would pool on the courts after rain events, making them unplayable. Spicer Group was hired to do a full re-design of the tennis court area to completely replace all six courts. The existing asphalt surface was removed, and the area was regraded and repaved to improve drainage and playing surface. The design also included youth-sized courts and pickleball courts. Now, within the original square footage of the courts, there are four USTA regulation-size courts, one that also has youth-court size lines, and six youth-sized tennis courts that can also be used for pickleball courts. And along with building new courts, the 10-foot fence was replaced and designed to reduce maintenance costs, and the walkways were made ADA compliant. Spicer Group provided all design, bidding assistance, and construction inspection on this project.
