SOUTH TERRACE COURTS
We are proud to announce that the Carlton Area Development Corporation (CADC)
has officially obtained 501(c)(3) nonprofit status!
The court surface has been marked for where the pickleball net poles, tennis net poles and center fence will go. Once the blacktop is in, the fence will be put back up. The courts are scheduled to be painted either the end of May or beginning of June. The weather will dictate this.
This fall, the Greenhouse is planning to add perennials along the north and south sides of the fence - something to look forward to in October!

Thank you Twin Lakes Township for the donation of $10,000 for the South Terrace Courts Project!
Thank you Woodlands National Bank for the donation of $8,000 and an additional grant of $24,000 for the
South Terrace Courts Project.
Click on the images below to see the progress that has been made. The old surface was removed and pit run and class 5 gravel was added in 2024 to expand the footprint of the court and to allow the surface to settle and compact over the winter. The CADC board is working hard to secure grant, donations and sponsorships to complete the South Terrace Courts project.

Proposed finished tennis/pickleball courts
The South Terrace tennis courts have been in disrepair for many years. The land for the courts was previously owned by Carlton Schools, but has been deeded to the City of Carlton. The plan is to construct one dedicated tennis court and four pickleball courts. The courts will be open to the public and used by Carlton Schools for gym classes.
