The first lady of the District of Columbia, Cora Masters Barry, has announced plans for the development of the Southeast Tennis/Learning Center, which will rise on the site of the Hart Tennis Courts in Southeast Washington. Construction of the year-round facility is being guided by the Recreation Wish List Committee of Washington, a non-profit organization founded by Mrs. Barry to inspire greater private-sector support for public recreation in the District of Columbia. The new learning center will serve as a tennis instructional and development base for children and teens. A major feature will include the incorporation of academic and character enrichment programs, along with an activity agenda that families can enjoy together close to home.
