Description
Multiple New Deal agencies make improvements at Bassett Creek Park Tennis Courts in Minneapolis MN.
According to the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board, “In 1936, four clay tennis courts were added to the park, two near Glenwood Avenue and two near Chestnut Avenue. Federally funded improvements continued in 1937, most notably the creation of two lagoons.”
Source notes
There is a WPA engraving in the concrete, and see this history (page 20). The courts are the two near Chestnut.
