Thanks to Garry and Maryn Hurlbut and other hardworking volunteers, youth tennis rocks in Richmond.

The mission of the Richmond Tennis Association (RTA) is to improve the healthy lifestyles for Richmond residents of all ages through active participation in vigorous tennis programs along with enhanced facilities and adjacent parks.

Nicholl Park Tennis Courts

The Richmond Tennis Association (RTA) is pleased to announce the completion of the reconstruction of two very old and previously unusable tennis courts at Nicholl Park, 3230 Macdonald Avenue. This has been made possible by a generous $10,000 facility grant from the US Tennis Association (USTA) and a $2,888 donation from RTA.

There are now six courts available at Nicholl Park which will allow the Richmond Tennis Programs to continue to grow and meet the needs of our Richmond adults and youths in their pursuit of active and healthy lifestyles.

Previously, the tennis courts at the Richmond Plunge were rehabilitated and augmented by a beautiful garden, celebrated on July 15..
