Island Bay Tennis & Squash Club is a community club at 2 The Parade in Island Bay, Wellington, tucked beside Wakefield Park on the way to the coast. It has been on this site since 1930, and its history goes back to the Island Bay Lawn Tennis Club founded in 1914. That long history is the thing that sets it apart: the club was one of the first to offer reduced junior memberships and junior coaching in the early 1950s.
The club has three tennis courts and three squash courts, along with a large lounge and deck with table tennis, a kitchen and a bar. It supports both social and competitive play, and the website describes a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Coaching is available, and lessons with one of the coaches are booked through the phone number on the site.
The squash courts were built after a Progressive Society meeting in 1968 proposed them, and they were completed in 1971. The club holds an annual general meeting each year and publishes an annual report, and it is run by a committee. A club shop is listed among its services.
