Merredin District Lawn Tennis Club is the main tennis club in Merredin, the principal town of the Central Wheatbelt located about 260 kilometres east of Perth on the Great Eastern Highway. The "Lawn" name reflects the club's grass court heritage, and it retains both grass and synthetic grass courts as a nod to its long history in the region. Merredin is an important agricultural service town and rail junction, and the district club has served the wider farming community for many decades alongside its counterpart, the Merredin Railway Institute Tennis Club.
