Hikurangi's rundown tennis courts are set for new lease of life and set to become a multi-sports hub.
The land, which was owned by the Hikurangi Tennis Club, has been gifted to the Whangarei District Council, who will upgrade the courts to a multi-use sports facility with lighting.
The new courts will cater for tennis, football, futsal, netball and hockey.
A design for a synthetic turf surface - complete with line markings and the necessary fixings for those sports - has been drawn up.
At the moment there are three asphalt tennis courts, some fencing and a small clubroom building which have all fallen into disrepair.
