The Waddington Golf and Tennis Club is set to cease operations on April 3, as Harvard-Westlake prepares to build a new athletic complex on the property.
Demonstrators gathered in Studio City Sunday to protest the closure of a local golf and tennis club in order to build a school athletic complex. The Weddington Golf and Tennis Club sits at the corner of Moorpark Street and Whitsett Avenue. Protesters gathered with signs, with slogans like "Green not Greed." The group was led by Kelsey McCallister. McCallister's grandfather, George McCallister, took over the nine-hole par-27 course back in 1957.
In a video statement released by Harvard-Westlake, Terry Barnum, the shool's head of athletics said, "We understand there are those that have fond memories and feel nostalgic about playing golf at Weddington."Barnum described the school's "River Park Plan," which "includes a gym, two fields, tennis courts, a pool and park space… all of which will be made available to the public.
