WPTC
Winnetka Platform Tennis Club
About the Club
The Winnetka Platform Tennis Club (WPTC) works to promote and develop platform tennis in the community and serves over 300 members. The WPTC is the largest user of the Park District facility, accounting for over 80 percent of the court time used. Our programs range from social to competitive. There are men's and women's teams, tournaments, social functions, and mixed couple events. The WPTC encourages new members to get involved in these exciting programs. If there is a wait list for new club members, a Park District resident who expresses an interest in joining before June 15 has priority over a non-resident.
WPTC members are automatically members of the American Platform Tennis Association.
