A premier tennis and fitness destination, the centre is pleased to offer exclusive membership opportunities to the public.

The facility’s eight premium indoor and five outdoor courts are equipped with the latest technological advancements, featuring court surfaces and high-quality lighting that meet international standards for competition. The progressive tennis centre will cover 71,000 square feet over 3.19 acres and include full-service locker rooms and a restaurant and lounge. With a roster of experienced and certified coaches, the centre will offer tennis development programs and training to athletes of all ages and expertise. Supported by Tennis Canada, the centre will soon be home to a National Junior Training Program and Tennis Development Centre servicing the top juniors in the region.
