As the city filed it

Leaside Tennis Club, founded in 1948, is one of the many City of Toronto community tennis clubs. Located in Trace Manes Park (Ward 15 - Don Valley West), the club runs programming between the months of April and October. Leaside Tennis Club's objectives are to encourage, foster and promote the game of tennis through its adult and junior tennis instruction, clinics, tournaments and summer camps. Leaside Tennis Club would like to resurface all six courts in the park and contribute the funding required for the project through the hiring of a contractor to complete the work.

The project will be completed in two phases: court resurfacing (Fall 2022) and court painting (Spring 2023). The scope of work includes: installation of 3" asphalt penetration court surface over the existing surface; extending existing net post sleeves to meet new grade; installation of fiberglass reinforcing mesh to surface; installation of three layers of acrylic resurfacer; installation of two layers of colour coat; and installation of white playing lines. The contractor hired by the tennis club and their proposed work have been approved by Parks, Forestry and Recreation staff. No costs will be incurred by Parks, Forestry and Recreation for the rebuilding of the surfaces of the courts, and ongoing maintenance will be covered through the Parks, Forestry and Recreation's existing operating budget. The Park will be restored to original condition by the Contractor once the project is completed should any damages be incurred as a result of construction. The total in-kind donation amount for this project is up to $0.260 million. Under City Council's Donations to the City of Toronto for Community Benefits Policy, Council authority is required to accept donations over $0.050 million. This Motion is deemed urgent in order for the work to commence in Fall 2022.
