Fifty-four years ago, the program was founded by Barbara S. Wynne. Barbara, began the tennis program with the vision that tennis can enhance one’s athletic ability, as well as one’s personal life. In 1964 the program grew from her backyard court to the eight tennis courts at North Central High School. Thirty courts were eventually built as well as a tennis house. In 2003, Washington Township finished construction on a multi-million dollar renovation project for the tennis house. The facility was given the name of Barbara. S. Wynne Tennis Center in honor of it’s founder. Currently the program is fundraising to construct a state of the art 8 court indoor facility. Click here for more information.
