Working Bees
Twice a year, our tennis club comes together for a community working bee, where members volunteer their time to help maintain and improve our facilities. These events are a fantastic opportunity to contribute to the upkeep of our club, ensuring the courts are in top condition, the gardens are well-kept, and the entire facility remains a welcoming space for all.
Tasks typically include gardening, general cleaning, court maintenance, and small repairs, and no prior experience is necessary—just a willingness to lend a hand. Notifications about upcoming working bees are sent out via email and displayed at the clubrooms in advance.
If you are interested in getting involved with the ongoing gardening and maintenance efforts, we would love to hear from you. Your help, whether during the working bees or at other times, is always appreciated. Please contact us for more information on how you can contribute at parkdaletennisclub@gmail.com
