Our Story
In the late 1980s, the Tarcoola Progress Association recognized the need for a sports facility in their community, specifically for tennis. Led by President John Fisher, the association worked diligently to establish the Tarcoola Tennis Club (TPTC), which officially opened in 1989. Initially comprising just four grass courts and a small toilet block, the club was modest in size but ambitious in vision.
Over time, the club expanded to include eight grass courts, and in the 1990s, the club rooms were extended to their current state. This expansion was made possible through contributions from a government grant, the Shire of Greenough, and the club itself. Tennis was flourishing in Geraldton during this period, and the TPTC enjoyed strong support from the community.
In 2006, the club underwent further development, with the front four grass courts being resurfaced with synthetic grass and the installation of lights. Today, these courts are the pride of the Midwest region, widely utilized day and night throughout the year.
