Facilities upgrades
Lighting upgrade
Work on the lighting upgrade is progressing. Council is expected to make a decision on the successful contractor shortly.
Accessible bathroom

The accessible bathroom contains a lot more space and can be accessed directly from the left hand side of the clubhouse, making life easier for people with disabilities. It also has a baby-change table. The new facility was jointly funded by the NSW Government, BMCC and Springwood Tennis Club.

Ball machine!
The club's ball machine is available for hire and is a great way to groove your shots. The ball machine costs $15/hour for members, or $30/hour for non-members, plus court hire.
Reduce waste - recycle old tennis balls
