Two tennis courts are located in the NW portion of Memorial Park. There's a boulder with a plaque located on the east side of the tennis courts that reads:
LOUMENA TENNIS COURTS THESE COURTS WERE CONSTRUCTED WITH FUNDS BEQUEATHED TO THE CITY FROM THE ESTATE OF JEAN LOUMENA. THEY ARE A LASTING MEMORIAL TO THE MEMORY OF THIS GENEROUS FRENCH BARBER, WHO WAS KNOWN TO ALL AS "FRENCHIE" CONSTRUCTED 1959 |
These tennis courts are still in use albeit a little wear and tear which is normal in a climate like Susanville (4220 feet in elevation).
