Under the policy, Community Tennis Clubs establish and maintain capital reserve funds to make capital repairs and improvements to the Community Tennis Club assets. Moore Park Tennis Club is a Community Tennis Club operating at 175 Moore Avenue within Moorevale Park in Ward 11, University-Rosedale. Moore Park is proposing to refurbish five courts. The Club will use its capital reserve fund to cover the costs of the project. This project would be delivered through a construction and donation agreement with Parks, Forestry and Recreation. Central Tennis Club is a Community Tennis Club operating at 40 Montgomery Road within Tom Riley Park in Ward 3, Etobicoke-Lakeshore. In preparation for its 60th anniversary in 2027, the Club is proposing to refurbish three tennis courts using its capital reserve fund. This project would be delivered through a construction and donation agreement with Parks, Forestry and Recreation. The Club plans to celebrate the newly refurbished courts with a ribbon cutting in Spring 2025. The total in-kind donation amount for each project is valued up to $0.300 million each. 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.
