"The Park Hill Country Club from its inception set the social pace for the great community that has since grown up about it, and in turn has been supported in a way to make its continued growth a continual surprise to its most enthusiastic friends. Its summer outdoor sports have attracted to its grounds expert athletes and tennis players, while its winter program of indoor amusements affords a delightful season of pleasurable intercourse to lovers of bowling, dramatic entertainment, cards, dancing, lectures, and music, bespeaking a vigor and activity among its large membership that cannot be surpassed in the club life of any community about New York"

HISTORY OF THE RACQUET CLUB

First established in 1892 as the Park Hill Country Club, the Racquet Club has been a neighborhood institution and haven for generations of families from Park Hill and neighboring communities.  The original shingle-style Clubhouse was destroyed in a tragic fire on March 1, 1962.  But the membership continued to meet on the grounds and, in the spirit of community that continues today, kept friendships alive and re-built this neighborhood institution.  Decades later, the Club continues to be a vital part of Park Hill and Yonkers, bringing families together for great times and lasting friendships.
