MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The City of Memphis, the University of Memphis and Tennis Memphis have partnered to renovate the Leftwich Tennis Center in Audubon Park. With the completion of this project, the University, and all Memphians will have a world class facility all their own. The majority of the funding has been privately raised with $3 million coming from the City of Memphis and an additional $5 million from the University.
"I can't say enough about how excited I am for this project to begin," Mayor Jim Strickland said. "And, I'm not the only one. The philanthropic support shown for this has been exceptional.
