Lake Ōkāreka Tennis Club

The Tennis Club is located on Council owned land adjacent to the Lake Ōkāreka Hall and in the past has been an essential and active part of the community. Currently there is a resurgence of interest in the Club which is a vibrant keystone of our wonderful community. The Club has a wide range of adult members but the large number of new members come from families with children in the 5-15 age range.

Spring Coaching for Children
Friday evening coaching sessions at the club cater for school children and is run by a professional coach Guy Beamish. This also forms a great social base for parents and children to meet. Children who are too young to play tennis are occupied safely at the adjacent Hall playground while the older children attend the coaching sessions. There is also a barbeque for the children with sausages.

Due to the number of weekends before Christmas. The cost is determined by the number attending.
