1964: The Club is Born

In 1964, a group of interested tennis players formed the Saltfleet-Stoney Creek Tennis Club. The Club originated on two tennis courts located behind the Saltfleet High School (now Cardinal Newman) on Gray’s Road. The School Board, The Town and members shared expenses.

​

A Young Club Grows

The Club operated successfully on two courts for 13 years during which time the courts were repositioned ninety degrees for correct orientation and lights were added by the members. Family play was always a priority and the members were very active.

​

1974: A New Name

The executive changed the club’s name from Saltfleet-Stoney Creek Tennis Club to The Stoney Creek Tennis Club effective January 1, 1974. With a membership of 400 and only two courts, no washroom facilities, no drinking water, some conflict with school programs and a growing demand for playing time, it became evident that expansion would be necessary.

​

1978: Relocation and Expansion

In September of 1973, a delegation from the Club made the first presentation to the Recreation and Parks Committee of the Old Town of Stoney Creek. A proposal was made for more courts, good lighting, fencing and a suitable clubhouse. After many changes and meetings between the Municipality and the Tennis Club executives, four more courts were added.

​

1980: Let There be Light

Lights were added to the new facilities.
