UPDATE ON 2020 SEASON
To False Creek Tennis Club members:
The City has now closed all public tennis courts indefinitely, which means we will not be starting our 2020 season in April. At this time, we are in a wait-and-see mode.
If we are able to start our tennis season later this summer, then we will at that time issue pro-rata membership fee refunds; or full refunds in the event of the season being fully cancelled.
Stay safe, everyone!
Your Tennis Executive (Ray, Dom, Amy, Karen, Cheryl)
False Creek Tennis Club
Located close to downtown Vancouver, the False Creek Tennis Club is a recreational tennis club for adult tennis players of level 3.0 and above. Almost all Club play is doubles, with a singles ladder also available for non-club times.
Outdoor play runs from mid-April until late-September each year, with drop-in doubles games Sunday mornings and Wednesday and Friday evenings. In addition, various tennis tournaments and social activities are held throughout the year. Check out the events calendar for a complete schedule and event information.
The False Creek Tennis Club is affiliated with the False Creek Community Centre, and rents the tennis courts at the False Creek Community Centre on Granville Island (Sunday mornings) and on top of the Parkade at 600 Moberly Road (Wednesday and Friday evenings). NOTE: Until further notice, the Moberly Parkade courts are closed; the City plans to have these courts in play by July 2020. Until that time, our Wednesday evening tennis will be held at McBride Park, 3350 West 4th Avenue, and on Friday evenings we will be at Granville Park, 3001 Fir St.
New members are welcome; see the membership info page for details about becoming a member of the club.
2020 Registration DATES
Registration for the 2020 season is now open. Registration takes place, using the "MEMBERS" tab above.
New members will be asked to take part in an assessment to ensure their level is appropriate for club play.
UPDATE ON COURTS
The City has informed us that they aim to return the Moberly Parkade tennis courts to playing condition by July 1, 2020. Until then, our Wednesday evening play will be at McBride Park, 3350 West 4th Avenue, and our Friday evening play will be at Granville Park, 3001 Fir Street.
