Friends of Girdwood Tennis Courts recognize the importance this non-profit plays in raising healthy children in our community. The "Little Bears" play daily on the tennis courts adjacent to their daycare facility. Unfortunately 30 years of neglect have left these courts in total disrepair with major sink holes, frost heaves and extensive cracking. Once a great place for kids to ride trikes and learn to ride bikes or skate, this public facilities poor state of disrepair makes playing in this space a challenge. We support Little Bears need for safe and secure places for kids to exercise outdoors and hope that our combined efforts will help achieve our common goal of repairing the valuable public facility so kids of Girdwood can again play here safely.
