Our organization serves to promote tennis and community involvement for persons of all ages and all
levels of ability. While most individuals and families come from our immediate area, we do extend
our invitation to households well beyond our locale in Scarborough, now also know as the East
District of Toronto. We have been in existence for over 40 years. As our membership and leadership changes, the programming
for our group continues to evolve. In 2009, we had about 160 members, where about
65% are adult aged and
the remaining are juniors (under the age of 18). Our executive and members in general try to encourage and
support both key groups.
We are a community tennis club. As a permit holder, we have the permission and share in the responsibility of caring for the
recreational tennis facility, as granted by the City of Toronto's Economic Development,
Culture & Tourism department. The Parks, Forestry, and Recreation division is our main point of contact.
We are also affiliated directly with the STF (Scarborough Tennis Federation) and also a member club of
the OTA (Ontario Tennis Association).
Our courts were completed redone in 2009 and now consists of three beautifully painted outdoor courts. New shed has been put up for better member service.
Please browse through our site and observe what we have to offer.

Hours
Though the courts are a public facility, a new (since 2005) city-wide policy allows all clubs
to have a permit granting exclusive use from:
- 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM Monday to Friday; and
- 8:00 AM - 11:00 PM on weekends and holidays;
- ... except for a total of 4 hours of Public Time per week: 1 to 3 PM on Saturday & Sunday.
These normal playing hours (and on occasion public time) are precluded by adult and junior programs
such as league, tournament and social events. As indicated, the majority of any
given day during our "permit" period (April 1 - October 31) is
assigned for member usage. A maximum
of 4 hours is granted for non-member (public) use. Hence non-members have
really only 2 choices:
- 1) join the club, where membership offers benefits that last up to 7
months ; or
- 2) pay-as-you-go with a fee the simply buys playing time just for a one-day
access with very little benefits (fee receipts can be used to
reduce charges if a pay-as-you-go player decides to get a full membership)
Your membership or (non-member/guest) fees provide access to our facility, various tennis programs, and
the chance to meet and develop relationships with other new and existing members. On the
business-side
of this relationship, your membership fee provides the funding to maintain and improve our facility,
strengthens our community and it helps inform our local, provincial and federal governing bodies
(for tennis), of the level of participation in our sport.
