Court and Parking Lot access during BC Summer Games

For 2024 the BC Summer Games are being held in Maple Ridge from July 18-21. We have been notified by the City that we will not have access to the Tennis Courts or parking lot from Wednesday, July 10th through Monday, July 22nd. Even though Tennis is not a sport included in the Summer Games they will be using the area as a flex space to stage athletes. This will affect all Club activities during this time If anything changes we will let you know but in the meantime please plan accordingly.
