Clarkston will officially open its new tennis courts for children aged 10 and under at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 25 at Milam Park.

The city is the first in the nation to convert its existing tennis center into a junior facility, according to the U.S. Tennis Association.

The association awarded the city a grant for the work, which transformed two courts at Milam Park into one court with multiple options for play.

The work allows more children to learn tennis and play on properly sized courts once they have learned the basics.

The ribbon cutting at the park, 3867 Norman Road, will be followed by a tennis demonstration and play.
