About

The Vancouver Lawn Tennis Club is a private, racquets-focused club with an active, intergenerational membership. Members participate in competitive and social play, regular leagues and mixers, seasonal pool and family activities, and an established social calendar that emphasizes community and traditions. The club was founded in 1897 and moved to its current location at Fir and 15th in 1914, later being renamed after the construction of the Badminton Hall in 1928. It has undergone multiple expansions and renovations over the years, including a major renovation in 2015-2016.
