Tennis P.E.I. is searching for a new home court.
Renovations at the Royalty Crossing mall in Charlottetown have closed the courts for good, leaving the club working on alternatives.
It has been used as a year-round court for tennis enthusiasts, including young players training for competitions, for 43 years.
Sunday marked the final day of play.
“It was kind of sad, but we knew it was going to happen at some point,” said president Tennis P.E.I. president Bob Gollaher.
“So we have to move on and see what we can do with the permanent facility at some point down the road.”
The mall had shut down the indoor tennis courts and swimming pool located at the Spa Total Fitness Centre on Sept. 1, 2022. At that time, Tennis P.E.I. asked Killam and APM to lease the space until renovations began, creating the Reality Racquet Club.
