Finance managers rarely get things named after them, but Bruce
Lebsack, a 28-year veteran of Metro District and the director of
finance there, is also a youth coach and a player.
This year, the district decided to honor a couple of employees
and rename Redstone Park tennis pavilion and Springer Park after
Lebsack and Jeff Case, an engineer with the district,
respectively.
While Springer Park’s renaming drew fire from neighbors at a
recent meeting and is under evaluation, renaming the tennis center
has not pulled negative comments.
Lebsack oversees all the financial matters for Metro District.
His work has increased the district’s credit standing, refinanced
bonds to save the district hundreds of thousands of dollars over
the years, and generally kept the district on financial track. He
developed the financing to build the tennis center originally.
The rededication will be at 9 a.m. March 14.
Following that will be the dedication of the new backboard,
donated by the Highlands Ranch Park & Recreation Foundation and
Colorado Tennis Association.
The rest of the day centers on the courts with a series of
drills and a Rapid Rally competition for players age eight to
13.
The tennis center is part of Redstone Park, 3280- Redstone
Circle, next to Shea Stadium on Town Center Drive.
