“To provide support for the care and preservation of the alex rovello memorial courts at berkeley park and to promote, develop and enhance the lifetime sport of tennis. The berkeley courts were busy all year drawing our community players as well as folks from all over the city and surrounding area. Additionally, summer youth tennis programs were held at the courts with portland parks & recreation coaches; and we wrapped up our program season by celebrating our youth players with an end-of-summer jamboree. A serendipitous schedule and our personal love of their music brought the band acoustic alchemy to portland at the aladdin theater for a benefit concert this summer. The terrific musical evening introduced the alex rovello memorial foundation to many new friends and potential tennis players at berkeley. We had an added and very special gift from nike who designed and donated event t-shirts to all attending. Court maintenance is a year round endeavor. We began in spring with power washing the courts and cleaning the drains, crucial to retaining a quality surface. We continued to improve the landscaping with planting, watering and mulching of the flowerbeds and shrubs, enhancing the setting for visitors to the court and park. This summer we also added a picnic table next to the shed at the north side of the courts. Fall saw the pruning of the pin oaks overhanging the courts, ensuring a safe playing environment.”
