Sports fields

The city has some superb tennis courts, available by reservation at Préville (2 lit courts with a synthetic turf surface) and Alexandra (3 lit courts with an acrylic surface) parks. There is also a free tennis court at Saint-Denis Park (1 court with an asphalt surface).

As soon as the weather permits in the spring, the courts will be open. They are usually open from mid-April to mid-November.

Costs

Access cards are required for the courts at Préville and Alexandra parks. You can get your card by logging into your bciti account. The cost is $135 for the season and $80 for a half season (starting August 1). New players who do not already have an access card can pick one up at the recreation centre during opening hours (600 Oak Avenue) 48 hours after purchasing their membership online.

Memberships usually go on sale at the end of March. There is no limit to the number of memberships sold. You can therefore obtain one at any time once the season has begun. The official start date of the sale is announced through our various communication tools.

Memberships are reserved for residents only. The cost of replacing a lost card is $30.

Reservations

Tennis players can make online reservations for the Alexandra and Préville courts through the ballejaune.com website. To know more, consult the Online tennis court reservation page.
