Last week marked a major milestone for Shankill Tennis Club, as the club officially unveiled its brand-new playing facilities, including Padel Tennis Courts, Junior Tennis and Pickleball Courts, and a dedicated Hitting Wall.

The launch event brought together prominent figures from the world of sport and local governance, who joined club members and members of the wider community to celebrate this exciting development. Among the attendees were:

• Frank Curran, Chief Executive – Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council (DLR)

• Jim Gildea, Cathaoirleach – DLR

• John Foley, Chairperson – Sport Ireland

• Kevin Quinn, CEO – Tennis Ireland

• Naomi Nicholl, President – Padel Federation Ireland

• Carol Beamish, Chairperson – Shankill Tennis Club

As architects, dpsq collaborated closely with DLR and the wider contract and consultant team to help bring to life some of the finest public sporting facilities in the country.

This project forms part of a larger masterplan for the club, which also includes the recently completed, purpose-built Indoor Tennis Centre. Our team at dpsq is proud to continue supporting Shankill Tennis Club in realising its long-term vision for a vibrant, inclusive sports campus.
