Tennis Backboards
On February 13, 2008 the tennis court backboards were dedicated in a ceremony at Wilson Park.
The Carrboro Parks Project raised money for new tennis backboards at Wilson and Anderson Parks.
In July 2004 a neighbor approached the Recreation and Parks Department in regards to raising funds to purchase and install a tennis backboard at the Wilson Park Tennis Court. Staff began gathering information regarding the cost of purchasing and installing a tennis backboard. In August 2004 staff met with the neighbor to discuss the cost and feasibility of the project. Staff recommended installing backboards at Wilson and Anderson Parks, presenting this idea to the Recreation and Parks Commission, and contacting the Carrboro Parks Project for assistance. This idea was presented to the Recreation and Parks Commission during the November 1, 2004 meeting. The Recreation and Parks Commission supported the idea and working with the Carrboro Parks Project. The Carrboro Parks Group agreed to assist with the marketing campaign.
