Pickleball group to resurface courts at Turning Point
When the J.L. Suttle Tennis Complex was built on West Sumter Street, it was meant to be the place for local teams to practice and play high school tennis.
The courts have found new life in recent months as the premier place to play pickleball in Cleveland County. And lovers of that game have embarked on an effort to give new life to the old courts. This is the only place in Cleveland County where you can play outside seven days a week in Cleveland County, said Charlotte Teague, fundraising chair of the Cleveland County Pickleball Association.

Last weekend at the Alfred A. Ring Tennis Complex, the Florida Gators defended their home turf successfully and for the cherry on top: earned the right to claim the SEC regular-season crown.
