THE Leopold Tennis Club has served up a big ace just in time for summer by swinging open the doors to its new club pavilion.<\/p>\n
The $1.72 project was officially opened last week by City of Greater Geelong councillor Trent Sullivan and Bellarine MP Alison Marchant.<\/p>\n
It features a social space and kiosk with a kitchen, external and internal storage, female-friendly club amenities and an accessible car bay.<\/p>\n
Ms Marchant said members, guests, players and spectators will all benefit.<\/p>\n
“Sports like tennis are an integral part of community life and we’re proud to invest in projects that get even more people active and on the court.<\/p>\n
“The new pavilion and facilities are a game-changer for tennis in Leopold and I cannot wait to see the impact they will have on our local tennis scene.”<\/p>\n
Mr Sullivan said he was thrilled to see upgrades completed in the Leopold Ward.<\/p>\n
“The Leopold Tennis Club is a valued part of the community, and has members playing in senior, midweek and junior competitions, as well as playing host to junior tennis players undertaking coaching each week.<\/p>\n
“The construction of this pavilion will ensure the needs of local tennis players and the broader community are met for many years to come, and I want to thank the Victorian government for its $1 million contribution to the upgrade via its Local Community Sport and Recreation Projects fund.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
