The area north of the Centre Court became known as Aorangi
Park after the Club purchased 11 acres of land from John Barker
Ltd. of Kensington in 1967 and subsequently granted a lease
to the New Zealand Sports and Social Club. (Aorangi, meaning
‘Cloud in the Sky', is the Maori name for Mount Cook.) In recent
years, the park has been the scene of much activity and has
been affectionately dubbed "Henman Hill".
A large television screen shows current matches and tennis information to all areas
of Henman Hill.
