In 2022, PRC was awarded the TPA Excellence Award from the Tennis Professionals Association for their community engagement efforts, including providing scholarships for children from low-income families and partnering with local schools to run after-school programs.​​

The facility is owned by the City of Brampton and will be operated in partnership with Premier Racquet Clubs from September to May annually.
