Membership

I want to join RKPTC.  How do I become a member?

Royal King’s Park Tennis Club (RKPTC) partners with Next Gen Kings Park (NextGen) to offer world class racquet, gym, and social facilities in the heart of King’s Park Perth, Western Australia.  If you wish to become a member of RKPTC, you must first join NextGen as an Ace member.  Membership information for NextGen can be found here: https://www.nextgenclubs.com.au/location/kings-park/memberships/ and NextGen can be contacted directly for more membership information at kpmm@nextgenclubs.com.au.

RKPTC is delighted to support prospective NextGen members through the NextGen application process and can be reached for assistance at admin@rkptc.com.au. This is not required, however we understand that this is a unique application process and aim to make it as seamless as possible.

I want a membership that offers me both RKPTC as well as gym facilities?

Don’t we all!  As noted earlier, RKPTC is delighted to support prospective NextGen members through the NextGen application process and can be reached for assistance at admin@rkptc.com.au. NextGen sets the price of all memberships and are the only ones that can provide pricing details, however RKPTC can approve your application first to ensure there is a seamless experience and that after you join NextGen, you will already have been approved for RKPTC. 

I am already an Ace member and want to join RKPTC?

Here is a link to our Ace application form.  Please complete and revert to admin@rkptc.com.au for processing.

What type of family memberships are available?

NextGen offers a variety of Ace family memberships, all of which include both gym and racquet sports. 

I only want to play racquet sports for RKPTC and not use the gym; is there a membership option for me?

Historically NextGen has not offered this type of Ace membership.  However, RKPTC and NextGen are partnering on a trial Ace membership category that is only for racquet sports, called the Racquet Only Ace Membership which is available for a limited time and on a limited basis.

What is the Racquet Only Ace membership?

The Racquet Only ACE membership is a new trial membership category offered by NextGen in partnership with Royal King's Park Tennis Club. This membership provides access to NextGen's court facilities and select amenities at King’s Park on a limited basis.

Who is eligible for the Racquet Only Ace membership?

  • Almost everyone! 

  • Applications are only accepted through Royal King's Park Tennis Club (RKPTC) at admin@rkptc.com.au

  • Available on a limited basis only: applications are prioritised on a first come, first serve basis

  • At this time, current Foundation and current Passport members are not eligible as they already have access to a discounted annual rate that includes both racquet and gym facilities. Foundation members are RKPTC members that joined both RKPTC and NextGen prior to the partnership creation in 2007 and receive an annual discounted membership.

  • If you have questions about whether you are eligible, please email admin@rkptc.com.au

I am a current RKPTC Member and I want to downgrade my membership. How do I do this?

You must complete the application form and submit it to admin@rkptc.com.au as this membership is a trial offering that is available on a limited basis with complete applications processed on a first come, first serve basis.

I want to come down to King’s Park for a hit of tennis to try out the facilities. What should I do?

Join us for social tennis on the weekend or weekdays. Social tennis is free for non-members for a limited amount of times. We also do “free socials” in the run up to big events, such as Opening Day, so email admin@rkptc.com.au to get the latest information on joining social tennis.
