PHOTO BY DAVID KIRK An old, abandoned tennis court in the middle of Fairmont has received new life as a community garden. Just above Coal Run Hollow down a gravel road off of Oliver Street in the middle of Fairmont sits a paved lot, which was formerly a tennis court. Now itâs covered with wooden plots, filled with flowers, vegetables and other fauna, planted by the the Fairmont community and local organizations. At the start of 2021, the Marion County Parks and Recreation Commission was contacted by a group of students from Fairmont State University about a possible project management course. Their idea was to form a community garden.
