The neighborhood's social club since 1915, built around a casarão on Conde de Bonfim.
Tijuca Tênis Clube fills a large block at Rua Conde de Bonfim 451, a short walk up from Praça Saens Peña. It is one of Rio's traditional social-sports clubs — pools, courts, a well-known basketball gym and event salons — and for generations of Tijuca families it has functioned as the bairro's living room.
Clubs like this are a real factor in North Zone residential life: proximity to the Tijuca Tênis is a selling point on the surrounding streets, and the club's red-and-white colors are part of the neighborhood's identity.
Address: Rua Conde de Bonfim 451, Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro
The club was founded on 11 June 1915 — originally as Tijuca Lawn Tennis Club — at a house on Rua Uruguai, when tennis courts were still a rarity in Brazil. It soon moved to the leased casarão at Conde de Bonfim 451, gradually adapting the old mansion and its grounds into a clubhouse.
The first pool and the sede social were inaugurated in 1931, and the complex grew through the century into a multi-sport club whose basketball program became nationally known.
