City of Cape Coral chose sports, recreation and entertainment industry consulting firm Sports Facilities Cos. for its racquet center at Lake Kennedy Community Park. Under the new partnership, SFC will spearhead the management efforts, overseeing marketing and booking, staff development and training, superior guest services, food and beverage offerings and grounds maintenance.
