The final stages of the upgrade project at Springwood Tennis Club have been completed.

The project, supported by a Female Friendly Community Sport Facilities and Lighting grant from the NSW Government, is part of the ongoing revitalisation of the Springwood Tennis Club, designed to create a safer, more inclusive, and female-friendly sporting facility.

The project involved the replacement of outdated floodlight infrastructure with LED floodlighting. With funding from the club, two synthetic courts were also upgraded to hardcourt surfacing.

Blue Mountains Mayor Mark Greenhill said the upgrades have helped make Springwood Tennis Club one of the Blue Mountains most impressive sporting facilities.

"We are delighted to see this vision come to life,” Cr Greenhill said. “These enhancements have had a significant impact on the club – it is a really impressive facility.

“The upgrade reflects our commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive community where everyone can enjoy sports and recreation.

“Council extends its gratitude to the NSW Government for their support and collaboration throughout this project, which has resulted in a brighter, more inclusive future for tennis in our region.”

“Supporting this fantastic Club and its members via a grant for an upgraded facility - particularly a safer space for woman and girls - is a bonus for our community,” said Member for Blue Mountains, Trish Doyle.
 

“I am very pleased our NSW Government is funding this great initiative in Springwood.”

Springwood Tennis Club features 10 synthetic grass courts and two hard courts (11 are floodlit). The club offers a variety of programs as well as casual court hire, events and tournaments.

Cr Greenhill says there are more improvements to come at the Club.

“I know the Club’s Committee is looking into ways to improve accessibility at the courts, so tennis can be enjoyed by even more people in our community, and I look forward to supporting them in future endeavours.”
