This has easily got to be the best news of 2026 for Palm Coast so far. In case motorists can’t figure it out. The days scheduled for the tournament are going to be higher traffic volume days. Plan your pathetic lives accordingly & pay attention so that the tennis fan nerds don’t get hit crossing the street or when they’re looking for a parking spot. Nobody wants to read about an accident. There’s a fire station there just south of the tennis facility. At least they won’t have to drive very far if a collision happens or someone gets run over. And for others ? Try not to hit the fire truck(s) there ?
