The Woodlands Township’s tennis initiative has achieved a significant milestone by earning the prestigious “Green Tennis” certification. This honor is awarded to tennis facilities that demonstrate a strong commitment to environmental sustainability through effective recycling programs. Since its inception in 2022, the program has successfully recycled more than 10,000 tennis balls, showcasing the community’s dedication to eco-friendly practices.
Tennis players and enthusiasts are encouraged to continue supporting these recycling efforts by dropping off used tennis balls at designated collection points throughout The Woodlands:
