August 2022

 Hello! 


Hopefully all of you are doing well.  After a year without many updates regarding the Lake Oswego Indoor Tennis Center, we are happy to bring you this information as we prepare to reopen the facility after recent remodel:

The final stages of the Tennis Center Rehabilitation are nearing completion.  Once all work is completed on the project, the courts will be prepared for playing with an estimated reopening in September.  For more updates on the Tennis Center Rehabilitation including reopening updates please visit:

Tennis Center Coordinator Farewell and Welcome
A huge thank you and congratulations to long-time Tennis Center Coordinator, Lisa West! During the closure of LOTC , Lisa worked as the interim Program Supervisor at the Adult Community Center and recently accepted the offer for the permanent position. We will certainly miss Lisa, but are excited for her new chapter and grateful for her internal consulting during the transition of new staffing and re-opening of the Tennis Center.
 
I am very pleased to announce Ian Miller, as the new Tennis Center Coordinator. Ian has committed the past six years to L.O. Parks & Recreation as the Sports Program and League Coordinator, developing and implementing youth, teen and adult sports camps, classes and leagues.  Ian has sports management experience across a variety of sports. His extensive skill-set was also fined-tuned in the position of Office Administrator for the state-wide Oregon (Soccer) Referee Committee, as a soccer referee assignor, referee trainer and as a high-level soccer referee (youth, collegiate and professional).  Ian was juggling these jobs at the same time as adding tremendous value to the part-time position for Parks & Recreation. He is a Gonzaga University alum (Go Zags!).  
 
Many of you met Ian when he led the Tennis Center front desk operations and staff training during the OHA Covid-19 requirement period and/or during outdoor tennis programs offered the past two plus years.  Ian has been coordinating logistics and communication behind-the-scenes for our summer adult tennis classes held at Westlake as well as our youth summer camps and early fall Special Olympics at Lakeridge H.S.  
 
Please join me in congratulating Ian Miller!
