Palm Coast’s tennis center may become the site of a small community center. 

“This ... recognizes a variety of needs in our community, in particular the growing sport of pickleball, our history of  tennis and also taking into account our trails,” Mayor Milissa Holland said during an Oct. 13 council workshop. 

The proposed project is one of a number of initiatives underway to improve the city’s trails and outdoor recreation spaces. 

“This solves a lot of the issues in this part of our community,”Holland said.

Palm Coast Parks & Recreation Director Lauren Johnston said the city is seeking partnerships with a tennis industry professional and a tennis community member, plus someone who can serve as a “pickle ball ambassador.”

The proposed miniature community center is part of the city’s 2008 Parks Master Plan, which calls for a small community center for each “sector.”

The tennis center site is 63 acres, with  existing recreational facilities including the Lehigh Trailhead.
