About the Club

Forty years of racquet sports in the mountains

Jasper Park Racquet Club is a volunteer-run, member-supported nonprofit that has looked after tennis — and now pickleball — in Jasper since 1983.

Our Mission

Healthy outdoor sport, open to the whole town

We exist to promote healthy outdoor sport and build a welcoming community for tennis and pickleball players of every level — from complete beginners to seasoned club members.

That means keeping the courts at the Jasper Activity Centre safe and properly maintained for both locals and the visiting public, and paying special attention to bringing young people into a sport they can enjoy for life. In the past year alone, our courts and programs served roughly 1,000 people in a town of about 5,000 residents.

Our Partnership

A shared arrangement with the Municipality of Jasper

The courts at the Jasper Activity Centre are owned and operated by the Municipality of Jasper. Jasper Park Racquet Club's role, in turn, is to program the space, advise on its upkeep, pitch in with volunteer cleaning and maintenance, and promote the courts to members and the wider community.

It's a long-standing, informal arrangement built on trust rather than a lease — one that's let a small club with no paid staff keep public courts running for over four decades.

Our History

Two renewals, one court, four decades apart

Jasper Park Tennis Club is formally incorporated under Alberta's Societies Act, formalizing a community that had already been gathering to play.

The club receives a provincial grant of $50,000 to pave three of its original clay courts with a plexipave-based surface — funded through fundraising and hundreds of hours of volunteer labour.

Partnering with the Municipality of Jasper, the club secures Community Facility Enhancement Program funding to resurface the aging tennis courts and convert a decommissioned skate park into dedicated pickleball courts.

Renamed Jasper Park Racquet Club to reflect its growing pickleball community, the club continues to run lessons, maintain equipment, and keep the courts open and free to the public.
