Game, set, match: Romsey Tennis Club courts officially open!

Last updated on 21 May 2025

Upgrades to three of Romsey Tennis Club’s courts are now complete, resulting in more modern facilities that increase opportunities for local players.

Located within the Romsey Park Recreation Reserve, the project included resurfacing three courts with a durable synthetic surface, improving drainage, and installing new fencing.

The $228,000 project was made possible through the club’s determination and funding from Council ($158,000), the club itself ($50,000), Community Bank Lancefield and Romsey ($20,000), and in-kind support from local businesses including Newearth Constructions and The 1860 Romsey.

Mayor Dom Bonanno praised the club's vision and collaboration to make the upgrade a reality.

“This is a great example of what can happen when willing partners such as Council, community groups and businesses all work together,” he said.

“These upgraded courts are a real benefit to Romsey and a testament to the hard work of the Rees family in particular, and will help more people get involved in tennis and stay active in general. Council is proud to support local sport and improve community facilities.” 

The new courts are now open and ready for play, with an official opening event held on Friday 9 May well attended by members of the club and community, who also enjoyed an introduction to Pickleball from the Romsey Pickleball Club.
