On June 29th, 2022, the City of Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw Tennis Club celebrated the opening of the Tennis Club’s newly resurfaced tennis court.
The $139,348.29 project was funded by both the Moose Jaw Tennis Club and the City of Moose Jaw through a 50 percent cost-sharing initiative which was approved in the 2022 Budget.
The construction was planned to take two weeks, but due to the weather the construction was extended another week.
The Moose Jaw Tennis Club first opened in 1911 and has worked closely with the city to expand the sport of tennis through new courts and other operations. The last time that the courts were resurfaced was in 2012 and with proper maintenance, the repairs are anticipated to last another 10 years.
"This has been a year-long project; they (the Parks and Recreation team) have been great to work with. It was a tough decision to get some of this stuff done, but we are done. Everyone is very happy with what we've got," said Andy Shephard, the Moose Jaw Tennis Club's Treasurer. "Thank you to the Parks and Rec, and Lisa, and all those people that helped us get involved."
The club hopes the new court will attract people to the club, whether they have experience or are new to the sport.
Membership fees to The Moose Jaw Tennis Club are: Junior fee (15 years and under) for $100, Student fee (16 years and up) for $150; Adult fee for $250; and a Family fee for $500.
