Wilding Park

Wilding Park is a tennis facility located in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Several years ago, during the restructure of tennis in New Zealand, the Wilding Park assets were transferred to the Wilding Park Foundation Incorporated to ensure they were held in trust in perpetuity for the tennis players of the region.

From the 1970s for three decades Wilding Park was known as ‘Davis Cup City’ with most of New Zealand's home ties played there; this included many World Group ties or the earlier equivalent Zone Finals.

The February 2011 Christchurch earthquake had a devastating effect on the Wilding Park Complex, severely damaging all of the 39 courts as well as causing considerable damage to the buildings.

Engineers undertook an assessment of the facilities and all the buildings were repairable although the courts required considerable reconstruction.
