Not only is the tennis complex in Sun City West one of the premier tennis facilities in the West Valley, it is also home to unique metal sculptures that augment the beauty of the complex.
After the complex was redone in 2018, Metal Club member Joe James came up with the idea of using old scrap pieces of metal to create a sculpture. After the first piece was created, the Tennis Club, Metal Club and RCSCW worked together to develop a plan to create more sculptures.
Through the years of 2019 and 2020, James designed, fabricated and assembled 11 geometric sculptures that adorn the complex. The pieces have weathered into a rust color patina that blends into the landscape creating a natural artistic environment.
In addition, in the area adjacent to the restrooms, there another interesting piece, a turn-of-the-century ball machine that was found at a yard sale and donated by a club member.
