Ocala Parks and Recreation's court resurfacing project at seven city parks entered its second week Tuesday, with work that began September 10 expected to continue through month's end depending on weather conditions.
The maintenance project involves resurfacing and repainting courts at parks throughout Ocala. Courts remain closed during work at each location, while other park facilities stay open for public use.

Only courts are closed at each location during resurfacing work. All other park amenities including playgrounds, walking paths, and green spaces remain accessible to residents.
