Renovated tennis courts at De Blauwe Reiger officially opened
Tennis club De Blauwe Reiger in Maarssenbroek has renovated its tennis courts and brought them back into use. During the open day on Saturday, March 28, Alderman Karin van Vliet officially opened the courts.
Alderman Karin van Vliet, responsible for sports and physical activity: ‘De Blauwe Reiger is a club where many residents come together to play sports and meet each other. It’s great to see that this club continues to develop. With these renovated courts, the club can look forward to many more years ahead, and it will remain a wonderful place in Maarssenbroek for young and old to enjoy sports.’
New courts for year-round play
The club replaced the old gravel courts with new Gravel Pro courts. Members can now play on them year-round, except during thaw. The courts are designed to last at least 20 years. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, the courts wear less quickly and require less maintenance. They also dry faster after rain.
Tennis park renovated
The club also upgraded the irrigation system to ensure the courts stay properly watered. It inspected the fencing, repaired or replaced it where necessary, and relaid the paving around the courts. The tennis park now looks neat and tidy and is ready for use.
During the open day, the club organized a youth clinic and an adult clinic. Between these activities, the alderman officially opened the renovated courts. Members and visitors were then able to use the courts immediately.
In collaboration with the municipality
The municipality of Stichtse Vecht contributed to the renovation of the courts and the layout of the site. The municipality and the club worked together to determine what was needed to restore the tennis park for years to come.
Active club in the neighborhood
