Marshalltown Court Complex Named Outstanding Facility Award Recipient

Marshalltown Court Complex in Marshalltown, Iowa, is one of 25 winners in the USTA’s annual Outstanding Facility Awards program, which recognizes excellence in the construction and/or renovation of tennis facilities throughout the country. 

Marshalltown was selected as a recipient in the Educational Institutions category, which consists of colleges, universities, public and private grade schools, middle schools, or high schools. Other categories included: Public Courts that are either small tennis centers with 2-10 courts or large tennis centers with 11 or more courts and Private Facilities that support the USTA and other “growth of the game” programs open to the public

The Marshalltown Court Complex was built in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Built to the highest USTA standard through collaborative community funding, the construction of this complex is testament to the community’s ability to rally around a cause. The facility has renewed interest in tennis in the area, with the Bobcat Tennis Academy and Marshalltown Parks and Recreation Department having been able to accommodate youth programs for all ages.  In keeping with the goal to promote and grow the game of tennis, the courts are available for free to the community both day and night.  

The complex has played host to many USTA Iowa tournaments in 2021, including the USTA Iowa Adult League District Championships in June, as well as several junior tournaments.
