This project renovated four existing outdoor tennis courts in 2007 and completed
design for two new outdoor tennis courts to the north of the existing
courts at the Amy Yee Tennis Center. After two years fund raising
effort, the two new tennis courts will be constructed in 2009. Regular
users of the facility include Garfield High School teams.
The Amy Yee Tennis Center Advisory Council nominated
this project for the Pro Parks Levy Opportunity Fund. The Council
also successfully received the Neighborhood Matching Fund and
the King County Youth Sports Utility Fund. They continue to raise
more fund for the new tennis courts construction.
