Steve Cox Memorial Park tennis court construction starts Wednesday, June 12

Tennis courts at Steve Cox Memorial Park will be closed for improvements starting this Wednesday, June 12, and will continue through Aug. 20 2024, King County Parks announced this week.

Improvements will include resurfacing the tennis courts, constructing a new ADA ramp, installation of root barriers, sidewalk repair, and fire lane striping.

If you would like to reserve the court once it reopens, please contact the King County Regional Scheduling office, regional.scheduling@kingcounty.gov or (206) 477-6150.

“Thank you for your patience and understanding as we complete this important work! We will share reopening information as we near the end of construction,” officials said.

Formerly White Center Park, this park was renamed Steve Cox Memorial Park in 2007 in honor of a fallen King County Sheriff’s Deputy who was also a beloved community leader. The park offers Mel Olson Stadium, baseball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, play and picnic areas, and a foot reflexology walking path. This park is also home to the White Center Community Center, an historical building constructed as a Works Progress Administration project in 1940.
