Montreal's mayor announced on September 21, 2026 that the city will not allow any additional encroachment on Jarry Park for a proposed Tennis Canada expansion. The decision was communicated as a definitive stance against further development of tennis facilities within the public park.
Tennis Canada already operates a set of courts and related amenities in Jarry Park. The organization had submitted a request to enlarge those existing facilities, seeking additional space for training and competition.
The municipal response clarified that while current structures will remain, no new construction or extension will be authorized on park land. City officials indicated that the refusal applies specifically to the proposed enlargement and any future attempts to increase the footprint of Tennis Canada's presence in the area.
The mayor's ruling means that any plans by Tennis Canada to expand its operations will need to be pursued outside the boundaries of Jarry Park. The city has not provided an alternative site, but the statement confirms that the park will continue to be managed without further tennis-related development.
