The tennis courts at Victoria Park in Charlottetown are getting a $79,925 spruce up.

The courts are divided into two areas, one with three courts and one with five. Resurfacing work began on the area with three courts last week. Work on the other area will be done next spring when the weather is warmer.

Resurfacing work at the Victoria Park tennis courts includes crack repair.
