Bareena Park Tennis Club

Night comp under lights at Bareena Park this week. 🎾✨

There’s something special about full courts, good rallies, and great company on cool, quiet evenings at the club. From the first serve to the last point, our night comps continue to deliver plenty of laughs, exciting play, and competitive spirit.

A huge thank you to everyone who comes down each week to make Bareena Park such a welcoming and vibrant place to play.

Nights like this are what community tennis is all about! 💚💛

The Club held its annual 2026 Daphne Jeffery Ladies Invitational Tournament on Tuesday, May 19.

Daphne Jeffery was a keen player and long-time Bareena Park member who donated the perpetual plate as a prize for players who did not typically win other Club events.

Many ladies from the Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday morning sessions participated in the event. Despite persistent rain the night before and some early drizzle, the new courts recovered beautifully, allowing 16 players to enjoy a competitive, fun, and friendly morning of tennis.

Each participant played three sets of eight games with different partners, and the total games won determined the final results.

The competition was incredibly close, with just four points separating the top four players!

It was a tale of two Paulas, with Paula M winning the first division and Paula L taking out the second division. Paula L was declared overall winner on handicap, while Paula M graciously acknowledged her recent trophy success.

Both winners credited their strong performances to the quality of their partners' play.

Congratulations to both ladies!

The morning also welcomed several first-time participants to the Invitational, adding to the great atmosphere and camaraderie, which was further enhanced by delicious cakes served with the assistance of Carmella.

Many of the morning’s competitors have significantly raised their standards of play and look set to be strong contenders in the upcoming 2026 Ladies Doubles Championships!

Is there any better place to be on a sparkling Sydney autumn day than on a tennis court with friends, followed by a divine morning tea? If there is, we’d love to hear about it ... and so would the BPTC Wednesday Ladies Social players!

Tennis trivia: how many tons of sand go into a club tennis court? (Have a guess, don't chatGPT it!)

YES -- 13 TONNES in ONE COURT!

Ever wondered what’s underneath a tennis court? 🎾

Stop by Bareena in the next day or two while the old carpet is being removed for resurfacing, and take a look! 🧐
