📣 Southern Hills Tennis Center Update
From Shelly Ragle, SPAR Director

We want to share an important update with our tennis community: The Southern Hills Tennis Center is currently transitioning to new management and will be temporarily closed through Monday as the new leadership team gets everything up and running.

We appreciate your patience during this brief pause and encourage you to take advantage of SPAR’s other excellent tennis facilities in the meantime, including Querbes Tennis Center and Bill Cockrell Tennis Center. A full list of SPAR tennis locations is available at http://www.MySPAR.org/

During this transition, we regret to inform you that the previous management did not provide SPAR with any records of current memberships at Southern Hills Tennis Center. If you have an active membership, we kindly ask that you present proof of payment to the new management team upon reopening so that we can honor your membership accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we work to improve and grow SPAR’s recreational offerings for the community.

— Shelly Ragle
Director, Shreveport Public Assembly & Recreation (SPAR)
