Tennis Club

Since its opening in 1964, the Scarborough Tennis Club has offered excellent tennis facilities, the opportunity to enjoy both social and pennant tennis, and a wonderful camaraderie for everyone who is part of the club.

History of the Club

The seed was sown in 1961 when a group from Scarborough District Sportsmen’s Club put forward a proposal to the Shire Council to construct tennis courts & a pavilion at Abbett Park.
The tennis courts were officially built & handed over to the club on the 5th of November 1963.
The courts were officially opened on the 1st of November 1964.

The Club consists of 19 courts – 13 grass and 3 hard courts, a pro shop, bar, viewing area and clubhouse. The 6 plexi-cushion (Australian Open) courts are under lights.
