Absolutely superb new venue for racket sports fans, right next to a skate park, a water park, and a sports and events field. Well exceeded expectations in the look and the quality; and the atmosphere is so nice, especially on a sunny day, that it is even a great place for non sports fans or people who cannot play to have a great breakfast or a delicious panini.

Once the Hub is open, we'll have a great indoor activity space called The Studio. Which can be used for group exercise sessions, hosting community events and booking special occasions.
