Tennis in Truro, Nova Scotia is a cooperation between two non-profit organizations:
During the outdoor season (usually May through October), tennis in Truro, Nova Scotia mostly happens at 12 Palmer Street, at the entrance to Victoria Park. Here the Truro Tennis Club operates and maintains 6 hard courts (4 lit with new LED lights) and a clubhouse. It runs programs and events for all ages and levels of play.
The clubhouse is staffed from sometime in May to the end of August.

Non-members are welcome to drop-in and try tennis anytime or sign up for one of our “Try Tennis” nights. Those who play regularly at the club will benefit from a membership.
