SAN ANTONIO – Over the past 50 years, the McFarlin Tennis Center has been known internationally for hosting tennis events with thousands in attendance.
However, the San Antonio community knows the McFarlin Tennis Center as a place that welcomes anyone who wants to learn the game of tennis.
For its continued support of the community and the compassion the center has for growing the game, San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg attended the anniversary celebration on Friday.
