The policy guides the operation of Community Tennis Clubs and includes specific requirements for permits, public hours, and the mutual responsibilities of the Community Tennis Clubs and Parks and Recreation in maintaining the courts at Community Tennis Club locations.

Under the policy, Community Tennis Clubs establish and maintain capital reserve funds to make capital repairs and improvements to the Community Tennis Club assets. Valley Tennis Club has offered to fund and coordinate resurfacing and repair of five City-owned tennis courts located at York Mills Valley Park. The total value of the proposed work is $74,450.00 plus HST. The Club has secured a quote to complete the work in Fall 2025, with a projected start date of September 1. This motion seeks authority for the City to formally accept this donation in-kind and proceed with the necessary agreement and coordination to enable the project to move forward in time to meet the Club's preferred September construction window. The total in-kind donation amount for this project is valued up to $0.090 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. The proposed scope of work at Valley Tennis Club has been reviewed and approved by staff. No costs will be incurred by Parks and Recreation for the court refurbishment, and ongoing maintenance will be covered through the Division's existing budget.
