About
Hamilton Squash Racquets Club began in 1936 as an "all-male", one court club in Barton Street. Steady growth saw three courts opened on the present Tristram Street site in 1960. A fourth court was added in 1964, the Gallary Court in 1971 and major alterations and extensions were carried out in 1983 including the addition of a glass-back court. The Club has had the honour of hosting World Events in 1971, 1983 and 1989 as well as many National Championships over the years.
Hamilton Tennis Club began in the early 1900s with one singles court and three doubles courts in the vicinity of St Peters Tennis Club moving to Hinemoa Park in the 1920s. The club boasted some top players of the day.
