The Wildewood Club was founded in 1930, located at 761 North Drive in Fort Garry. It was a multi-use facility, with activities including badminton, tennis, and golf. In 1962, curling was added with six sheets of artificial ice.
The Club closed in 2015 to make way for a condominium project for the area. The closure did not affect the tennis courts or golf course.
