IONA College has opened its new tennis centre which includes the Barton Family Showcourts.
The opening on Wednesday was attended by about 300 people and included a blessing of the tennis courts.
A school spokesman said the centre featured six courts all up.
“The six new tennis courts … will provide excellent playing comfort and performance characteristics such as perfect bounce of the ball, quick, safe change in direction and an excellent compromise between balance and slide for players, making it well-suited for professional-level tennis,” he said.
“Generous sheltered spectator seating around the courts provides good views of each of the six courts and flood lighting is available for night matches.
“As the adjacent stages of this complex are due for completion in the near future, this facility will be a great asset to be able to promote tennis in our local community.”
Iona College is a Catholic boys’ college served by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
