The Club
Originally established in 1972, the Campbell River Tennis Club has been at its Willow Point Park (Penfield Rd and Parkway Rd) location since 1987. The Club operates during the outdoor tennis season which usually runs from the beginning of April to the end of September. Campbell River is one of BC's top tourist destinations and serves as a major regional centre to Northern Vancouver Island. The extensive Campbell River coastline, protected harbour, inland lakes and rivers, warm temperate climate and proximity to Mount Washington and the Strathcona nature preserve, gives Campbell River a first class international reputation as the "Salmon Fishing Capital of the World" renowned for some of Canada's finest natural landscapes and hospitality. The Campbell River Tennis Club is an active part of this community and operates in cooperation with the District of Campbell River and Campbell River Parks and Recreation. The Club has over 100 adult and junior members and welcomes guest players. |
