The Georgian Bay Racquets Initiative

A grassroots initiative launched by volunteer racquet enthusiasts in 2024, bringing year-round indoor tennis to South Georgian Bay through a community-driven club in Collingwood.

We're working to help build an affordable, accessible tennis facility at 255 Osler Bluff Road with seasonal dome coverage for year-round play. Our membership-based model prioritises youth programs, community outreach, and inclusive pricing.

About Our Project

South Georgian Bay is currently an "indoor tennis desert." The nearest dedicated year-round tennis facility is all the way in Barrie – making winter play highly impractical for most residents.

That's why the Georgian Bay Racquets Initiative is assisting in building a community tennis club in Collingwood on private land at 255 Osler Bluff Road. The facility will feature 6 courts with seasonal dome coverage, providing year-round play in a climate-controlled environment.

Our Community-First Approach:

This isn't a traditional exclusive club. We're committed to keeping tennis accessible and affordable for everyone in South Georgian Bay. Our membership-based model will prioritise:

• Affordable pricing tiers for families, youth, and seniors
• Strong youth development programs and junior tennis initiatives
• Community partnerships and outreach programs

Tennis offers exceptional health benefits, making it one of the healthiest sports in the world. According to research by the Health and Fitness Association, tennis improves cardiovascular fitness, increases flexibility, enhances coordination, and boosts mental health. The World Health Organization recognizes tennis as a key activity that contributes to overall health and well-being.

Key statistics include:
• Tennis players experience a 47% lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to non-players
• Regular participation can improve cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia by 20%
• Tennis provides excellent full-body exercise while being lower-impact than many other sports

By establishing a year-round indoor facility in Collingwood, we aim to make these health benefits accessible to South Georgian Bay residents throughout the entire year.

Let's give our community the year-round tennis facility it deserves.
