PAYNE PARK TENNIS

Payne Park tennis is the best public tennis facily that I have ever seen. Locals, vistors and snow birds are all welcome. The courts are great, the people friendly and always willing to play. In the six months that I played here it is my new home and hang out. It reminds me of where I grew up and played as a kid. Sarasota needs a public tennis center and this is it. Lets develop the tennis center and improve on it, not tear it down.
I am sure there are other places for a new police station to be build and them the old police building can be remodeled and used as a current prisoner holding facility.
SAVE THE TENNIS CENTER,

ALAN WINSTON
