Members of the Alexandra Youth Forum attended a fun day held at the Alexandra tennis courts in Pioneer Park yesterday.
Youth workerJim de Thierry said although the courts had already been officially opened, the day was about thanking the people who made it possible, particularly Dave Henderson.
"Mr Henderson did $40,000 worth of work for nothing and if it wasn't for him, the courts would not have gone ahead when they did."
The Alexandra Youth Forum had been campaigning to have the courts built in Pioneer Park since 2002.
