The Puhoi Sports Club will cater for more activities after the opening of new tennis courts on October 30.
About 50 people attended the event, including Rodney Local Board chair Beth Houlbrooke.
Club president Ian Boothroyd says the courts are already well used by the community, and the feedback from players about the surface has been positive.
The two concrete courts cost $252,000 and were funded by Auckland Council.
The open day offered netball, tennis and bumper balls.
“The club has always been heavily based around football so the new facilities allow us to offer different sports. This appeals to a wider range of people from the community,” Ian says.
“There has also been interest for hockey and some other sports, but we don’t want to diversify too quickly.”
The club hopes to offer one night of community tennis a week, plus coaching in the future.
Summer soccer started on November 4, with finals set down for December 9.
