New lighting installed for tennis courts at Blacktown’s Jonas Bradley Reserve

Blacktown City Council has installed new lighting for the tennis courts at Jonas Bradley Reserve in The Ponds allowing the community to extend their play at the courts at night.

Blacktown City Mayor Brad Bunting noted “Tennis is a sport everyone can enjoy, and an investment of $97,200 to light the tennis courts means it will be easier for current users to play at Jonas Bradley Reserve.

“We strive for every local resident to have the ability to regularly play and exercise.”

New lighting was identified as a priority project for the community by the Council Sports and Recreation Committee, to enable night training and matches.

To assist with the improvement of facilities, the NSW Government has funded specific upgrades to a range of sporting infrastructure in Blacktown City through the Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants program.

Council contributed $60,000 to the new lights, with the remaining cost of $37,200 covered by the NSW Government’s Western Sydney Infrastructure Grant funds. 

Council encourages residents to book a court, grab a racquet and have a hit with family and friends.
