Winslow Sports Complex

The tennis courts at Winslow Sports Complex are scheduled for an upgrade in 2024. Cassady Electric will remove the existing tennis court lights and install 24 new 34,500 lumen LED bulbs along with a digital time clock to allow lights to come on only during specific times, and a digital timer that will allow each tennis court to work independently and for a timed duration. Work is scheduled to be complete by October 1, 2024. 

Located just south of the YMCA, and east of Winslow Woods Park and Willie Streeter Community Gardens, the 40-acre Winslow Sports Complex is a major gathering place for tennis, trail walkers and runners, fitness enthusiasts, and youth baseball and softball.
