Tennis in Westville

Westville Loves Tennis!

Westville is home to the annual Pilot Pen Tennis Tounament but, long before the tennis stadium was built, Westville was playing tennis - lots of tennis. It is a little known fact that in Westville there are housing blocks with large interior grassy areas that were once private tennis clubs. This attests to a long standing connection between Westville and tennis.

So grab your racquet and come on down. You can bring a partner or come for a pick-up set.
