High Point closes two tennis courts for resurfacing work

The City of High Point posted a notice on November 14, 2025 saying the tennis courts at Mohawk Park, 1530 Pinehurst Avenue, and Oakview Recreation Center, 503 James Road, would be unavailable starting Saturday, November 15, 2025 while crews perform resurfacing maintenance. The short advisory appeared on the city News Flash page under Parks and Recreation and is listed on the CivicAlerts page.

The closure affects two community courts that serve a range of players from casual residents to organized groups. The notice directs users to find alternative local courts and links to Piedmont area tennis resources, and it points residents to the Parks and Recreation office for additional information. The city did not provide an estimated completion date in the advisory.

Resurfacing work is a routine part of facility upkeep intended to restore a safe and playable surface, but the temporary removal of court availability can ripple through local schedules. Players who rely on those courts for daily play, lessons, or league matches will need to shift to nearby facilities. For households that depend on walking distance access, the change could add travel time and logistics, and for organized programs the closure may require rescheduling or relocation.

Local leagues, school teams, coaching programs, and informal meetups all contend with a limited supply of courts across the region. The city supplied links to broader Piedmont area tennis resources, which may help players identify nearby public or private courts that are open. Residents looking for confirmed alternatives should follow the CivicAlerts posting for updates and contact the Parks and Recreation office directly to confirm availability and any coordinated accommodations the city may offer.

The notice highlights the role of municipal communications in keeping residents informed about facility status and public works. Posting the advisory on the city News Flash page and under Parks and Recreation on CivicAlerts makes the closure visible to those who monitor city releases, but the lack of a stated timeline will likely drive follow up inquiries from users and groups affected by the shutdown.

As resurfacing work proceeds, local officials and Parks and Recreation staff will determine the reopening schedule. Residents who use the Mohawk Park and Oakview courts should check the City of High Point CivicAlerts page and contact the Parks and Recreation office for the latest information and guidance on alternative places to play.
