4. History
Jarry Park
Created in 1925, Jarry Park is one of Montreal’s largest parks. After leasing the park from the Jarry family for many years, the city acquired the land in September 1945.
In the late 1950s, the Montréal Alouettes set up a training centre in the park, making it more prestigious and widely known. In 1960, the baseball diamond was open to local teams and hosted Montreal’s junior league. Nine years later, when the Montreal Expos moved to Jarry Park, 29,000 spectators were on hand for the team’s first game of the season. During the eight years that the Expos called the stadium home, a total of 7.5 million tickets were sold.
In 1973, the baseball stadium emerged onto the international scene as the host of prestigious large-scale events, including two that left an indelible mark on the recent history of Jarry Park: the Canadian Open tennis tournament and a visit by Pope John Paul II.
A TENNIS HAVEN
The first international tennis tournament was brought to Montreal in 1981. For Tennis Canada, the stadium at Jarry Park was an obvious choice to host the event.
The world’s best tennis players soon descended on the city to play in a rudimentary stadium with baseball seating, improvised spectator boxes on Centre Court, and a bare-bones organizing team.
Since then, the tournament has continued to spread its wings on its way to becoming the biggest in the world. In 1993, it joined the elite group of nine ATP Masters events. The only cloud on the horizon was the stadium’s aging facilities. To meet the demands of tennis fans and preserve the tournament’s international status, the installations had to be renovated.
On February 9, 1995, the city of Montreal and Tennis Canada set out a memorandum of understanding under which the city granted 20 acres (approximately 84 800 m2) of Jarry Park to the organization to build new tennis facilities.
In 1996, Jarry Park was transformed into a modern tennis centre, including Centre Court and indoor courts. One-quarter of the court time was reserved for potential players, half the time was booked for free play and another quarter was dedicated to tennis excellence and tournaments. Tennis Canada, Tennis Québec and Tennis Montréal moved their offices to the new stadium.
In 2001, Tennis Canada added 1 250 seats on Centre Court. Three years later, it built National Bank Court with seating for 4 500 spectators and also added four indoor courts.
In September 2007, Tennis Canada opened a full-time National Tennis Centre at IGA Stadum. The country’s most promising tennis talent between the ages of 13 and 19 are provided with the training, coaching and resources necessary to succeed at the top levels of the sport.
In 2011, four clay courts and a new press gallery were added to Centre Court and the National Tennis Centre installations.
IGA is the largest group of independent grocers in Canada and its origins in Quebec date back to 1953. The 293 IGA merchants are constantly looking for new ways to better serve their customers. The IGA banner includes the IGA, IGA extra and IGA express stores.
