Frequently asked questions about the move
We understand that the move from Strandvliet to a new location raises many questions. On this page we therefore answer the most frequently asked questions. On other pages you will find the latest news about the move, the planning of the move and a photo page where you can follow the progress.
General questions about the move
- When will LTC Strandvliet move? The new jobs will be delivered in March 2023. So we will start the 2023 season at the new park. The clay courts and clubhouse at Sportpark Strandvliet have now been demolished. Will LTC Strandvliet continue to exist under the name LTC Strandvliet? No, the association will change its name at the new location. The new name of the association is TPC Gaasperpark. TPC stands for Tennis and Padel Club. The reason for the name change is the fact that the name Strandvliet is location-specific. Many people associate it with Strandvliet metro station. At the same time, many members have a positive feeling about the name. So it was a difficult decision. The name change will only be official after the new statutes have been approved by the members during the next AGM. Will my Strandvliet membership automatically transfer to Gaasperpark? Yes, Strandvliet members will automatically go to the new park. It is actually the same association, but in a new location and with a new name. So you don't have to take any action to move with us. Don't want to move with you? Then the same rules as normal apply to canceling membership.
From now on we talk about TPC Gaasperpark!
Questions about the new tennis park
- What is the location of the new park? The new tennis park is located in Amsterdam South East, a stone's throw from Gaasperplas metro station, opposite the Campanille hotel (Google Maps). The location is very easy to reach by car, public transport and bicycle. Who does TPC Gaasperpark collaborate with during the move? The municipality of Amsterdam owns the land and leases it to TPC Gaasperpark. Based on this relationship, Amsterdam is responsible for the relocation of the associations. A complete list of discussion partners and an overview of the consultations can be found here. What steps have been taken so far with regard to the Gaasperplas location? The board of TPC Gaasperpark, together with the municipality, has Amsterdam and the KNLTB have drawn up a global program of requirements for a new sports park at this location. We use the standards and guidelines for accommodations of the KNLTB. It concerns a complex of at least 6 tennis courts, a mini field and a tennis wall plus a clubhouse of approximately 250-300m2 with a terrace, preferably facing southwest (due to the afternoon/evening sun). The planning takes into account the possibility of expanding to 10 jobs in the near future. How are members involved? Until now, we have mainly informed members via the website and the newsletter. We will of course continue to do this.
