The Fort Walton Beach community is readying itself for the return of tennis on Oct. 13, 2018, when youth, adults and entire families will be treated to a free lunch and a fun-filled day of free activities at the Grand Re-Opening Festival for the Fort Walton Beach Tennis Center.
From 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. families will enjoy lunch, a free Professional Doubles Exhibition, on-court activities and play, off-court activities for kids, and free tennis play after 3 p.m.
Personnel and families from local military bases will also be in attendance, kicking off a new military discount at the center where players with a valid U.S. military I.D. will have their court fees waved any time they play, and will receive 20 percent off programs and classes at the Fort Walton Beach Tennis Center.
