The Osten & Victor Alberta Tennis Centre is planning a significant expansion to mark its tenth year operating in Calgary, with plans to add eight indoor courts and increase public access to the sport.
The expansion would boost annual public court access by roughly 62 percent. The project also includes a new reception building with change rooms, washrooms, and office space; 89 additional parking stalls; upgraded lighting and security; improved landscaping; and a dedicated drop-off and pick-up zone.
Future phases could see additional seasonal outdoor courts and other public amenities, which will be shaped through an engagement process involving the Acadia Community Association and the centre.
"Our vision has always been to create the best community-based tennis development centre in North America while ensuring tennis remains accessible, welcoming and affordable for everyone," said Danny Da Costa, chief executive officer at the centre.
Since opening in 2016, the centre has become one of Canada's leading tennis facilities, logging more than 71,000 hours of annual court access and introducing more than 70,000 children to the sport through school programming. The expansion still requires the appropriate development approvals before moving ahead.
