Since its inception, as a small single room club in 1979, the Tuggeranong Valley Rugby Union & Amateur Sports Club (TVRU&ASC) has grown to where the organisation now owns and operates four licensed club facilities throughout the Tuggeranong Valley:

Town Centre Sports Club - Rowland Reese Cres., Greenway - opened 1994

The Club is also continually upgrading all of it facilities. Some of the more recent renovations would include the extension of the Chisholm Sports Club in 1998; a significant redesign of the Erindale Club facility in 1999 and a further renovation at Erindale, which will be completed prior to the Olympics.
Today the Club has a membership base of around 33,000 and is one of the major employers in the Tuggeranong Valley with a total staff of approximately 250. The Club is generally regarded as one of the most successful licensed clubs in the Canberra Region, with assets of $40,000,000 and an annual turnover of approx. $32,000,000.
On the sporting front the Club has recently invested close to $4m in the acquisition and redevelopment of Viking Park. This multi-purpose sports facility provides rugby union, league and soccer with an all-weather playing surface and state of the art lighting. Baseball is also catered for at the Park with a permanent diamond, to state league standard. At the Town Centre Sports Club members are able to access four high quality synthetic grass tennis courts and two championship size, lawn bowling greens. While at our Erindale Club, a modern, well-equipped gymnasium is provided for members.
When the Club began operations 21 years ago there were only four affiliated sporting clubs. Today the TVRU&ASC has developed the reputation as the 'Home of Amateur Sport in the Tuggeranong Valley' with a total of 50 affiliated sporting and social clubs, representing 33 different sports and activities.
