The National Junior Tennis & Learning of Trenton broke ground on the Dan Haggerty Jr. Pavilion Dec. 4.

Building the pavilion is the last phase of the multi-year redevelopment of the Junior Champions Tennis Center at Cadwalader Park.

The pavilion is named after the father of current United States Tennis Association CEO, chairman and president Dave Haggerty. Once completed, it will be a gift to the City of Trenton.

NJTLT touches the lives of more than 2,500 at-risk youth in the greater Trenton area, and the Dan Haggerty Jr. Pavilion will empower the program to provide even more children with the chance to benefit from their tennis, education, enrichment and employment opportunities.
