Flaherty Park Tennis Courts lighting upgrades to begin March 25

On Monday, March 25, Walter Holmes Electric, a contractor working on behalf of the Wake Forest Parks, Recreation & Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department, will begin upgrading the lights at the Flaherty Park Tennis Courts, 1226 N. White. St. A 2022 Wake Forest Bond Referendum initiative, the Relamp Project will involve upgrading the courts’ lighting system to modern, energy-efficient fixtures to enhance visibility and safety for players and spectators.

Slated for completion in early April, the work is scheduled during daylight hours to minimize disruption to nearby residents, but there may be times when evening work is necessary.

In addition, the work may require crews to temporarily close several courts, but at least four of the complex’s eight courts will remain available for play at all times. The pickleball courts will not be affected.

The total cost of the project is $178,511.

The PRCR Department wishes to thank the community for its patience and understanding throughout the Relamp Project. For more information, contact Athletics & Aquatics Manager Edward Austin at 919-435-9562 or [email protected].
