Long Park Tennis Club

At the southern end of Steve McLean Park, near the corner of Deer Park and Meadowlands, stands the Long Park Tennis Club (the club did not have its name changed when the park itself was renamed).

The club is operated by a small group of neighborhood volunteers. It is located at 1170 Deer Park Road (corner of Deer Park Road and Meadowlands). Four courts are available to members between April and the end of October,  seven days a week, dawn til dusk. For more information,  contact Cheryl Clarke (cclarke002@sympatico.ca).”
