The White House is getting a tennis pavilion, the first lady announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The project is "fueled by Mrs. Trump’s respect for classical architecture, along with her passion to provide a functional recreational area for all First Families to enjoy," explained the White House in a press release.
Exciting to break ground on the new tennis pavilion project at the White House today. Thank you to all who will help in making this legacy piece possible for future first families to gather at and enjoy for years to come. @theNationalMall@NatlParkServicepic.twitter.com/UcYLeJ27Ni

"Exciting to break ground on the new tennis pavilion project at the White House today," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Thank you to all who will help in making this legacy piece possible for future first families to gather at and enjoy for years to come."
The announcement was marked with a photo of the first lady breaking ground on the new south lawn construction, shovel in hand. Twitter had quite the response to FLOTUS' formal attire, marked by her four-inch Manolo Blahnik BB pumps, and the timing of the announcement itself.
Oh look! Our least active @FLOTUS pretends she likes to play tennis in make-up and heels!

Although the size and cost of the new amenity have yet to officially be revealed by the White House, funds for the new tennis court will be supplied through private donations.
