Tennis has had a long and interesting history in Brampton. Reports of its popularity as a local recreational sport date back to the 1880’s. The Brampton Tennis Club originated in 1885 as part of the Brampton Amateur Athletic Association. This Association, among other activities, created the first organized tennis courts for the public on the Rosalea Park grounds.

The location of the Club in Brampton changed from time to time during its first half-century or so of existence. However, in 1954 the Club sought assistance from the then Town of Brampton and was granted the use of part of Rosalea Park. And that year, with the creation of four clay courts on land that had been used as a lacrosse pitch, our current location took root. Over the years there have been significant changes such as overhead lighting, a clubhouse, additional clay courts as well as two hard courts, and an automatic sprinkler system.
