(BIVN) – A project to improve the Lincoln Park Tennis Courts in Hilo has been completed, and now the Hawaiʻi County Department of Parks and Recreation is implementing an online reservation system to use the courts.
The tennis courts, located at the intersection of Kinoʻole and Ponahawai streets in downtown Hilo, were closed in June 1 in order to carry out the project. Contractors repaired cracks, leveled the playing surface, resurfaced the courts, and repainted the lines at the facility.
The project was completed using County funds and a grant from the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
In a news release, the County included this information about the new online reservation system:
In addition to the court improvements, the project includes the implementation of an online reservation system in partnership with USTA. To use the reservation system, players create an account, make a reservation, and receive a unique pin that will allow them to unlock the gates and access the courts for their reserved court time.
The reservation system can be accessed using the QR code posted at the courts or by visiting playtennis.usta.com/lincolnparktennis.
General use of the courts is free. Exclusive use, such as tournaments or leagues, requires an online reservation and payment at the Recreation Division Office.
