  • Sweet Spot Facility Guide 2008
    Is This Guide for You? Before you begin, the reader will benefit by understanding who this Guide has been written for. It is a Guide, not a detailed planning manual. The appendices point to more detailed resources when more technical information is required. It is written for the Canadian context – national, provincial and municipal. The language, references to taxes, descriptions of permitting processes, and many funding options are oriented to Canadian policies and practices. However, there are many concepts that can apply elsewhere. The focus is primarily on community tennis operations, a facility where the average community resident and taxpayer can come and play tennis – without substantial initiation or ongoing fee barriers. To us, “community” means everyone. There is an emphasis on the development of partnerships between a community not-for- profit group and the public sector. The primary targets for partnership are local governments, but it could be a University or College. In Canada, community recreation facilities are the jurisdiction of the local Municipality or Regional District or County – with the possibility of funding support from the Province or through Infra-Structure Grants (which are Provincial-Federal-Municipal partnerships). There is an emphasis on indoor tennis facilities but the guide may be useful if you are planning an outdoor facility. The indoor emphasis is because such facilities are so much more cost effective in our Canadian climate at meeting tennis needs on a year round basis. In summary, this Guide is for tennis players and tennis facility advocates who understand that some of their taxes support community recreation facilities and they want to advocate for a community tennis facility as part of this delivery system.
