For half a century, 7D Winifred St has been a sporting sanctuary, home to competition, community, and countless memories. Founded in 1974 by the Moreton Family, the club began with a mission to grow tennis in South Africa, and over the decades, it did exactly that.
â
Through its gates passed hundreds of aspiring athletes, many of whom went on to compete at elite levels. It wasnât just a tennis clubâit was a proving ground, a training hub, and a place where kids became champions and strangers became lifelong teammates.
â
But as the world of sport evolves, so does this legendary site. Today, the same soil that cultivated tennis greatness is now being transformed into the largest pickleball facility in South Africa.
â
Weâre building more than just courts, weâre preserving heritage while creating a dynamic, inclusive hub for the next generation of players and families.
â
Weâre honoring the original 1974 clubhouse with a full renovation that keeps the charm and character, but adds modern comforts:
â
From its roots in competitive tennis to its rebirth as South Africaâs pickleball capital, this venue stands as a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose.
â
Picklers Park isnât just a new name, itâs a new chapter.
â
And youâre invited to be part of the story.
