The project will see the ageing blaes courts replaced, while floodlights will also be installed to allow users of the facility to play the sport throughout the year.
The upgraded facilities will also include a hard court surface, children's practice area, new nets and posts and upgraded ball stop fencing.

Work commenced on site this week and is expected to take six weeks to complete. South Lanarkshire Council, in partnership with Strathaven Tennis Club, are carrying out the work.
Councillor Hamish Stewart, Chair of South Lanarkshire Council's Community Services Committee, said: "It is recognized that this is a well used facility and, thanks to the grant funding, this will enhance the opportunities of the local community for this all year round sport in the town."
Gary Stoddart, Strathaven Tennis Club, added: "The club has been working towards this for about 20 years. It'll bring the club into the 21st century and provide a well needed boost to tennis in our town."
