Field Club History

The Founders’ Vision in 1964 is still our North Star today. 
The founders’ original vision was to establish a private club that provided a healthy and relaxed family atmosphere for tennis and swimming which now includes paddle and pickleball.

The permit was granted to build the Field Club on May 20, 1964.

Founders and Field Club members did most of the work themselves including installing the pool and tennis courts. This is true today. All club activities and events are initiatives led and organized by Field Club members who volunteer their time to make the club a success. It’s in the spirit of the founders’ vision!
