Scuttlebutt – Carondelet High School Buying Valley Vista Club in Walnut Creek

December 15, 2015 10:00 am

3737 Valley Vista Rd, Walnut Creek

In September we learned that Valley Vista Tennis Club was slated to close by January and now word on the street is that they are being bought by Carondelet, an all-girls private Catholic high school in Concord which is currently doing due diligence. It looks like the plan is to tear out some tennis courts for a soccer/lacrosse field and possibly allow Valley Vista club members use of the courts during non-school hours.

Considering the club is not being sold to housing developers this looks like a positive development for members assuming they are allowed to use the courts, however, what will this mean for USTA players who are unable to use the overcrowded Heather Farm tennis courts?
