Tawa Tennis Club plays on eight acrylic courts at Taylor Park, in Tawa, Wellington, next to Redwood train station. The club describes a friendly place with both social and competitive play for all ages. It runs coaching for juniors, seniors and families, interclub teams, open days, club competitions, tournaments and social events. The club says members get access to its facilities, coaching and social events, and courts are booked online for personal use.
Booking works through the club's online booking sheet. A player picks a free slot and pays online with most major credit cards. The first time, they register online, and the club then sends a confirmation and a PIN for access to the courts. The club's news and events are posted on Facebook. For a Tawa family or a player who lives near the train line, a set of courts a short walk from the station, with coaching and both social and competitive play, is the practical reason to join.
