Babette Horenstein is regarded as one of the most influential leaders in the 61-year history of THPRD. She was a longtime park district board member, leader of many other community service organizations, and a staunch advocate for tennis throughout the district.
THPRD staff have considered various ideas to honor Mrs. Horenstein in perpetuity for her service. The most appropriate option, in their opinion, is to rename the Tualatin Hills Tennis Center and call it the Babette Horenstein Tennis Center.
As part of the effort to gather public input about the idea, THPRD will hold a public meeting on July 14. Comments and questions will be welcome. THPRD staff will decide after the meeting whether to present the proposed name change to the board of directors.
If you have any questions, please contact Brian Leahy, Tennis Center supervisor, at 503-629-6331 or bleahy@thprd.org.
