The first Pukerua Bay Tennis Club was formed in 1922 with courts near the corner of Pa Road and what is now State Highway 59. The courts near this panel were built in the early 1940s and a new Pukerua Bay Tennis Club formed in 1946. The Pukerua Bay Tennis Club and Pukerua Bay Playcentre collaborated to plan and finance the building which was opened on 14 August 1965. See full story here.
