The Town of Fuquay-Varina has entered into a Joint Use Agreement with the Wake County Public School System for use of the Fuquay-Varina High School tennis courts. The Joint Use Agreement doubles the current number of tennis courts available to citizens from 6 to 12. The courts, located at the high school, will be available for use by citizens after school hours and on weekends.
The Town’s tennis program, administered through Parks & Recreation, has seen tremendous growth over the last couple of years. Parks & Recreations has partnered with Western Wake Tennis and the North Carolina USTA to expand the programs at all age levels.

The courts at the high school will be upgraded and resurfaced as part of a “Raise the Net” grant awarded jointly to the Town by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and the USTA North Carolina. The total cost of the expansion will be $26,327 with 75 percent of the cost covered by grants from USTA and USTANC. The Town of Fuquay-Varina portion’s is 25 percent or $6,582. The resurfacing project was scheduled to start Monday, May 21. Within the next few weeks, courts should be available to the public for use.
