A parks maintenance crew in Arvada stumbled upon a historical artifact recently when they uncovered a 50-year-old tennis practice wall at Alice Sweet omas Park while performing regular maintenance. Arvada’s Director of Vibrant Communities and Neighborhoods Enessa Janes said her department was considering the possibility of restoring the wall.

Janes said the wall was discovered during renovation of the tennis courts at Alice Sweet omas Park. A team was removing damaged siding and exposed the wood paneling underneath it, revealing the old practice wall.
