History
Established in 1968.
The club was founded in July of 1968 at their original location in Morgan Park, Markham, ON. The club started with two courts, and around 1972 moved to its current location in Reesor Park, expanding to three courts. Later, a "cottage-style" clubhouse was built by volunteers to improve the member experience. Soon, another bank of three courts was constructed bringing the total to six hard courts, including lighting for night play. In 2014, the City of Markham took over ownership of all community club facilities and while inspecting MTC's clubhouse, closed it down due to safety concerns. For the next two years, the club worked in partnership with the City to get approval to construct a new clubhouse built to current building standards, including full accessibility, two washrooms and a small kitchenette. The size was also expanded from 650 sq ft to about 950 sq ft. The new facility is expected to open in May 2017.
