Queensland Tennis Centre
Tennyson
Play the grounds where tennis’s best have warmed up or given their all – with 23 clay, grass and hard court surfaced courts to choose from, the QTC makes a brilliant if expensive site to have a match or hit and giggle.
In a bit of a no-man’s land where once stood the imposing Tennyson Powerhouse, the QTC is flanked on one side by graffiti-covered rail coal-carts lying idle from those days and on the other a slew of swanky modern riverfront apartment blocks.
Prices start at $24 off peak per hour for the outside hard courts, climbing up to a hefty $60 for the grass courts. (The Pat Rafter Arena centre courts start at $100 per hour)
The centre also has Junior Coaching available for aged 3 through to 17 as well as Junior Fixtures to up the ante.
Nice to know - There is an onsite eatery - Served Cafe - serving hot and cold drinks and snacks and a canteen selling ice-creams, soft drinks and sweets.
*Prices correct in 2016, subject to change.
