San Francisco, CA
Hunters Point Tennis Courts, originally dedicated by Arthur Ashe, reopened in San Francisco
The project was a joint collaboration between Youth Tennis Advantage (YTA), the San Francisco Housing Authority, and San Franciscans for Sports and Recreation (SFFSR). The upgrade cost $271,000—$223,000 contributed by the SFFSR, and the additional $48,000 coming from the USTA Foundation.
“Congratulations to YTA for getting the Hunters Point courts back up and running,” said Gilbert. “It’s exactly what the community needs. There’s nothing better than tennis courts and helping kids. It’s a pillar of the community with education.”
“Having these beautiful four tennis courts where YTA has been running this program for all these years, it’s just going to revitalize everything that they’re doing,” said Seth Socolow, volunteer executive director for SFFSR.
