Cornelius Tennis Park Wins National Award | Charlotte News

Cornelius just leveled up its tennis game—Bailey Road Park snagged the prestigious 2026 USTA Outstanding Facility Award, beating out big-name venues for the “large public facilities” category. Opened last October with 12 lighted courts, this newly expanded hub (thanks to a powerhouse partnership with USTA and local groups) has become the Lake Norman area’s go-to spot for all levels of play, from beginners to pros. With leagues, tournaments, and community programs, it’s not just about matches—it’s about growing the game. The Parks Directors even jetted to New York to accept the award at the U.S. Open, proving this isn’t just local pride—it’s national recognition. And hey, it’s not just tennis: soccer fields, ballparks, disc golf, and a bandshell make it the ultimate neighborhood destination.
