The Sudbury Indoor Tennis Centre says its facility will stay closed until August or September while repairs are being completed.

The tennis bubble was heavily damaged during the late-winter snowstorm in March, which also damaged the sports dome at Lasalle Secondary.

“Everything is in the hands of insurance and contractors right now, and, unfortunately, out of our control,” officials said in an email to CTV News on May 12.

Before it reopens, the club said all of the lights need to be replaced, as well as most of the net posts.

Courts have ‘bubbled’

“Some of the courts have ‘bubbled’ due to all the water and ice that was inside for a long time, meaning we will need to resurface these,” the email said.

“This is unfortunate, as we just resurfaced all the courts in September 2025. None of these are simple fixes and require coordinating with the right suppliers, ordering the right equipment and scheduling the time for the actual work to occur.”

Officials said they are “very thankful for all the support from the community,” adding they were able to raise money for repairs through a GoFundMe.

“And our annual gala event was the most attended and most successful one, ever!” the email said.
