**Barnes needs your voice before Friday at 5 PM.**
As part of the City of San Diego’s Affordable Home Development Master Plan, a large portion of the Barnes Tennis Center parking lot has been identified as a possible site for affordable housing.
This parking is crucial to keeping Barnes accessible and supporting the thousands of players, families, and visitors who come through our gates each week.
But this is about more than a parking lot.
Every year, Barnes supports more than **15,000 kids playing tennis**, many stepping onto a court for the first time. Every week, **7,000 to 8,000 people** come to Barnes to play, practice, compete, connect, and be part of our community.
Barnes is also a “third place.” Not home. Not work. A place where people belong. It’s where kids build confidence, families spend their weekends, and neighbors become friends.
The City is asking for community input. **This is our opportunity to make sure they hear directly from the people who use Barnes and understand what this place means to our community.**
**HOW TO HELP:**
1. Complete the City’s Affordable Home Development Master Plan Community Survey.
2. Under “Select the site you will be providing input on,” choose **Barnes Tennis Center**.
3. Share how often you use Barnes, what you use it for, and your input about the proposed development.
4. Share this post with others in the Barnes community.
**The survey closes tomorrow, Friday, August 28 at 5 PM.**
If Barnes has ever been part of your life, please take three minutes today to make your voice heard.
