Attention: Westfield Tennis Club Update!
02/24/2021
Dear Westfield Friends,
I opened Westfield in October of 1976 and maintained the business as Eastern Iowa’s premier tennis facility for 44 years. Today I am announcing that I have entered into an agreement with Bill Young to purchase Westfield Tennis Club.
After a long negotiation with our insurance company, we finally reached a settlement that would have allowed us to rebuild at a limited capacity. As an 83-year-old, I made the difficult decision I wasn’t in a position to start over. My goal has always been that I wanted public Indoor year-round tennis for Cedar Rapids. With my decision to sell Westfield Tennis Club to Bill Young I am hopeful that my desires will be fulfilled.
Bill is a schoolteacher who has always dreamed of owning a tennis club and he was a Westfield member and former Westfield employee. This purchase agreement hinges on Bill receiving confirmation from the city zoning commission to re-zone or re-purpose the facility if need be. Bill will also be purchasing over an acre of additional land for potential expansion. Questions may directed to Bill at (319)361-6505.
I would like to thank the staff and the thousands of members that have graced Westfield with their patronage and loyal support over the past 44 years. Westfield was a better place because of all of you, and I will miss each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Chuck Schillig, Owner
