Clay W. & Lynn B. Hamlin Tennis Center at Penn Park
Philadelphia, PA
Outstanding Outdoor Tennis Facility of the Year
The 24-acre Penn Park is on the campus of the University of Philadelphia. Since the site is near the Schuylkill River, where existing soils weren’t ideal, the area for the 1-court Hamlin Tennis Center needed to be reinforced with concrete piers. The varsity courts are depressed about 5 feet and the JV courts about 3 feet; pre-cast concrete retaining walls enclose the depressed courts. The lighted hard courts are on post-tensioned concrete slabs and separated into four batteries, with an elevated walkway between them that allows for spectator viewing.
