A bold new chapter in regional sport has begun with the official opening of the redeveloped Jim Elphick Tennis Centre at Bolton Park today (10 April 2025).
The state-of-the-art facility positions Wagga Wagga as a premier destination for tennis and sporting events – from grassroots through to elite level.
Delivered by Wagga Wagga City Council in partnership with the NSW Government and Tennis NSW, the $9.15 million transformation marks the completion of Stage 1 of the Bolton Park Sports Hub project.
The Jim Elphick Tennis Centre was officially opened by Independent Member for Wagga Wagga Dr Joe McGirr MP, representing NSW Minister for Sport, The Hon Stephen Kamper MP.
The launch was a celebration of community and sporting heritage, with appearances from tennis greats Tony Roche AO MBE and Casey Dellacqua, Tennis NSW President Melissa Achten and CEO Darren Simpson, Tennis Australia's Director of Pathways Lawrence Robertson, and local dignitaries including Deputy Mayor Councillor Georgie Davies.
