Cracks in the Courts: Summer 2012

Tennis and Schroon Lake go back a long way – from the days of courts at the Brown Swan Lake Club to Scaroon Manor. In more recent decades the town has been the keeper of the  public courts, which we reported last year had seen much better days.

Until recently the Town had seven full working courts,  but disrepair, the elements and age led to only five being opened last summer.

Town Supervisor Mike Marnell heard an earful from tennis lovers last year, dismayed at the current court situation and was blamed for not doing enough.
