Salisbury, Maryland — The City of Salisbury will begin resurfacing the tennis courts at City Park on Friday, June 20, 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to improve recreational facilities across the city.
To ensure public safety and allow crews to complete the work efficiently, the courts will be closed to the public from June 20 through June 30. The project timeline is weather dependent, and any changes to the schedule will be shared through the City’s official communication channels.
Mayor Randy Taylor reflected on the courts’ historical significance, stating:
“The City Park Tennis Courts hold a tremendous amount of history. The former manager of Jimmy Connors, William F. “Bill’ Riordan recruited California players to teach lessons in the summer at these courts bank in the mid 1960’s. A photo hangs in my office that memorialize those moments. Bill Riordan was a childhood mentor of mine, and I am so glad, as the current Mayor, that the City of Salisbury continues to invest in this facility from which so many have benefited! I am looking forward to the completion of this overdue project!”
The courts are located in Salisbury’s City Park, off North Park Drive, between Beaver Dam Drive and Main Street.
Mike Dryden, Director of Field Operations, added:
“We’re excited to announce the resurfacing of our city tennis courts—a vital investment in our community’s health and recreation. These upgrades will provide a safer, more enjoyable experience for players of all ages and skill levels, encourage more active lifestyles, and support local programs and tournaments. This project is a step forward in enhancing our public spaces and fostering a stronger, healthier community” – Mike Dryden, Director of Field Operations
