LOVE: STEVENS — Stevens Institute of Technology To Provide Tennis Court Access to Hoboken Residents

(via Stevens Institute of Technology)

As a part of Stevens Institute of Technology’s ongoing partnership with the Hoboken community, Stevens will once again will provide access during the summer months to four tennis courts for use by Hoboken residents from June 5th through August 21st.

Hoboken residents 18 years of age and older will have access to the tennis courts on the northern end of the campus between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 8:30 p.m. All interested residents will need to sign up at the Stevens Athletic Center for a visitor ID swipe card which will grant access to the courts for the designated times. Any participants in last year’s program must complete all paperwork again and will be issued a new ID card. ID cards issued last year are invalid.

“Last summer, dozens of Hoboken residents were able to use the tennis courts at Stevens, and I am very thankful to President Farvardin and the Athletic Department for again making their facilities available to our very active community,” said Dawn Zimmer, Mayor of Hoboken.
