Question ID: 760590
Where can I play indoor tennis in Toronto, Canada?  I don't want to
pay $10,000+ for membership in some exclusive club, I'm hoping there
are more economical options for a barebones indoor tennis club.  Also
proximately to downtown is preferable though I'm a bit flexible as I
can drive 10-15 min I guess.  So any club info+rates would be most
helpful. Please don't hesitate to ask for more specifications if need
be.

cheers.

Hi salgrey,

I found some options for you. To gauge how far away these options are,
I used Google Maps to calculate the distance they are from the
Strathcona Hotel, a hotel at 60 York Street in downtown Toronto close
to the train station that I'm familiar with.

Greenwin Tennis Club 
10 minutes from Strathcona
http://www.greenwintennis.com/membership.html
$345 for a summer membership
I have contacted them for further information about their exact membership rates.

The best option seems to be:

High Park Tennis Club
10 minutes from Strathcona
http://www.hptc.on.ca/
http://www.hptc.on.ca/information.html
#

Full year membership April to March $65.00 (entitles participation in
summer & winter program)
#

Note that court fees are extra for winter programs. 

The High Park club contracts with the Ontario Racquet Club to use
their facilities for the winter.

"THE DETAILS
Where: Ontario Racquet Club, 884 Southdown Rd. (southern extension of
Erin Mills Parkway in Mississauga, south of Royal Windsor Dr.; ORC is
on west side of road) (map)
Facilities: Hard Courts (17 in all!), great facilities, excellent
fitness and racquet sport establishment.
The ORC is a 120,000 square-foot fitness and racquet facility that
features six international squash courts, seven indoor and five
outdoor hard tennis courts and five outdoor clay courts. All outdoor
courts are bubbled for the winter."



Let me know if either of these work for you.

Greenwin Tennis Club looks great, but I'm thinking they're going to be
very expensive, hopefully I'm wrong.

The other options are decent, I'm going to contact all of them to get more info.

Looks like the days of my tennis matches getting rained out will soon
be a thing of the past!
