The Ultimate Guide to Tennis in Mississauga
Mississauga tennis runs through member clubs. Nineteen of the 24 locations require a membership, including the 27-court Ontario Racquet Club and established sites like Credit Valley, Applewood and Whiteoaks Park. Nineteen locations have lights, so evening play is widely available, and 14 coaching programs offer group lessons from $15 to $40.
Only five locations are free to walk on, which means most casual players either pay per visit or join a club. Two sites have indoor courts, so winter access funnels through the Ontario Racquet Club and The Tennis School, both of which book heavily between November and April.
