Statement of Significance

The site represents the beginnings of the Dudinin Tennis Club.

Physical Description

Original "anthill" courts, and later clay courts. A bush shed and a corrugated iron tea shed were on the site.

History

The history of tennis is that of a social fun and family activity. Tennis courts were evident throughout the district at private homes and in small community centres. The Dudinin courts were built by volunteer community labour. In 1958 the tennis club was relocated for the forthcoming season, to combine with the football club facilities. The tea shed was relocated to the football ground and dedicated to Tom Gray.
