The Manjimup Tennis Club (MTC), previously known as the Ringbark Tennis Club, were, until January 2017, based in West Manjimup on Ringbark Road. Ringbark Tennis Club was built on land supplied by local farmer George Kennedy. George prepared the land with the support of local people in working bees. Using horse drawn implements and hand tools the first courts were built from compacted earth.

Opening in 1929, the first membership fees were 10 shillings for men and 5 shillings for women. Initially membership was restricted just to people from the Ringbark area but became open to the local community in 1931. The compacted earth courts were bitumenised in 1932.

With a growth of new settlers in the area in the 1940s came an injection of enthusiasm for the tennis club. Dave Crombie resurfaced and built two new courts with keen help by working bees. In 1954 the club became incorporated and the land was purchased.  The tennis club flourished in the Post World War Two years and, despite reduced membership numbers continued until the property was sold in 2017.

From the 1980’s the facilities at Ringbark Road (pictured) comprised of four fenced tennis courts and a single storey clubroom with vertical timber walls, low pitched corrugated iron roof and a large open veranda that overlooked the courts.From 2000 the original support base of the local farming community started to decline to a smaller part of the membership and as the Ringbark facility were hard  courts and located out of town, they became unattractive for people to make the regular trips to the courts.

After much consultation with the Ringbark members and the Shire of Manjimup, Ringbark Tennis Club was renamed Manjimup Tennis Club and the Ringbark property was put on the market in 2016 & MTC sold the Ringbark tennis facilities in January 2017 in order to raise funds towards new central facilities in the Manjimup townsite.
