Any player can book a court at the North Vancouver Tennis Centre 24 hours in advance (see “Book an indoor court” above). For players who want the option to book a court further ahead, a tennis centre booking card is available. The card allows players to book one court time per week, up to seven days in advance.
Booking card registration happens once per year in August. North Vancouver residents can register 24 hours before non-residents, and registration is first-come, first-served while supplies last. No cards are reserved for non-residents.

Booking cards for September 2026 to June 2027 session will be available for purchase on:

Booking card rules
One active booking at a time
Cardholders may only have one active booking. You can make your next booking once your current one has been completed.
Guest rules for booking card holders
Rules for cardholders:
- Guest rules apply to advance bookings only, not 24-hour bookings.
- The cardholder and their guest(s) must check-in at the front desk before proceeding onto the court.
- Players participating in a cardholder’s booking who do not have a booking card themselves will need to pay a $7.50 guest fee to participate.
- If a participating player has their own booking card, they do not need to pay the $7.50 guest fee.
Rules for guests:
- Guests are individuals who do not have their own booking card.
- A person may play at NVTC as a guest an unlimited number of times per year, provided a $7.50 guest fee (valid for one full day) is paid over and above the court fee for each guest visit.
- The guest fee must be paid at the time of booking by the booking card holder.
Violation of booking card rules may result in cardholders having their privileges suspended.
Summer season court bookings
Booking cards are not required for summer season court bookings. From June 16 to September 14 each year, all players may book courts up to seven days in advance without a booking card, and no guest fees apply.

We’re pleased to share the results of our one-year pilot of expanded hours at Tennis Centre.
Many of you told us you wanted more opportunities to play, so we introduced extended hours on a pilot basis last June and carefully tracked court use throughout the past year.
Based on what we learned, we’re excited to confirm our updated operating hours moving forward. Please see the schedule below.
The updated facility schedule will provide 2,295 additional bookable court times (3087 hours annually) compared to our pre-pilot schedule — meaning more time and flexibility for players to get on court. For more information, visit nvrc.ca/TennisHours.
