Pine Point is a great family club made up of young couples with children. At anytime when the courts are crowded you will see a number of children enjoy ing themselves on the grass surâ€" rounding the courts. The executive has plans for increasing facilities for social events at the club such as a Barbecue, Patio, Swings and Sandbox for the children. Professional coaching is sup plied by the Etobicoke Recrea: tion Department and several club members themselves offer free coaching for beginners. The appreciation of all memâ€" bers of Pine Point Club goes out to the many people in the Etoâ€" bicoke Council, Recreation Deâ€" partment and particularly Mr Bruce Weaver and Mr. George Sinclair of the Parks Department, who have been most coâ€"opera tive and have done so much in completing this project.
