​​​New indoor courts will enhance access to racquet sports and active recreation in northeast Brampton

BRAMPTON, ON (May 12, 2026) – The City of Brampton is welcoming a $200,000 investment from Tennis Canada and Rogers Communications to help expand year-round racquet sport opportunities at Gore Meadows Community Centre. Through their national community tennis initiative, the project will receive seed funding to support six new tennis courts inside an air-supported dome, giving more residents in Brampton’s growing northeast community a place to play, train and stay active throughout the year.

Mayor Patrick Brown was joined by Councillors and representatives from Tennis Canada to recognize the investment and mark another milestone in the City’s work to expand access to recreation across Brampton. This initiative supports continued investment in year-round recreation, including the winterization of outdoor amenities and aligns with the Parks and Recreation Master Plan's​ goals to connect residents with high-quality spaces for sport, outdoor activity and active living.

The new indoor tennis courts will add another layer to Gore Meadows’ role as a major recreation destination in northeast Brampton. The facility is already a cornerstone in the community, offering aquatic, fitness and library services, and is currently being expanded through the development of Gore Meadows East Community Park​. Once complete, these investments will create a fuller recreation experience, with indoor and outdoor amenities supporting sport, wellness, neighbourhood connection and inclusive programming for residents of all ages.

The Gore Meadows tennis facility will feature:

• 6 tennis courts under one permanent dome
• 6 pickleball and two padel courts under one permanent dome
• 6 outdoor pickleball courts
• A clubhouse with change rooms and washrooms

The year-round tennis facility will be operated by Premier Racquet Clubs, which also operates the Rosalea Park Tennis Facility, and is expected to advance the broader vision for Gore Meadows as one of Brampton’s largest multi-use recreation hubs.

The project is also supported by the Government of Ontario through the Ontario Community Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Fund (CSRIF).

Supporting year-round tennis access across Canada

The investment at Gore Meadows is part of Tennis Canada’s Year-Round Community Tennis Courts Program presented by Rogers, a national initiative launched in 2021 to expand access to indoor tennis infrastructure across the country. Through the program, Tennis Canada and Rogers are working toward a goal of building 160 new year-round courts at up to 30 facilities across Canada by 2029.

Since 2022, the program has supported 17 completed and ongoing projects representing 93 year-round courts across Canada, with facilities in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. The Gore Meadows project is one of four additional facilities anticipated to open in 2026.

Track progress with the Parks and Recreation Construction Map

Residents can follow the project’s progress through the Interactive Parks and Recreation Construction Map, which provides real-time updates on park and facility projects across Brampton. The map highlights key milestones and allows users to explore projects by neighbourhood or type, including new playgrounds and splash pads, as well as upgrades to recreation centres and walkways, helping residents see how recreation improvements are taking shape across the city.
