In 1960s, the Nondescripts built a Clubhouse. This led to the arrival of new young members. The total-playing members increased so much that in 1967, the Club sometimes hosted three Rugby teams on Saturdays’ competitions. It was during the same period when the Squash Inter-Club leagues took off. Parklands Sports Club dominated the national scene at Clubs level by then.

Few days before independence, the Club was warned against discriminating non Europeans through a circular which was issued to all private and non-private Clubs by Mr. Oginga Odinga, the then Minister for Home Affairs. Therefore the issuing of invitations to non –Europeans began which led to increase in membership

It was also during sixties that the game of Squash really caught up at Parklands, and a strong competitive spirit developed, with Club ladders and interClub leagues going on all the time.

As the Africans took up the jobs, which were originally owned by the Whites, the Club began registering Africans as the Asians dominated the membership.
In the Year 1979 Mr. Y. A. Shretta was elected as the first non-European Chairman of the Club. Shretta was not even in the Committee, but he was asked to stand against others. It was a breath of fresh air in more ways than one. It was during his tenure when the Club transformed itself into a multi-racial, multi-national and became a Family Club. A master Plan for development was established; amenities were to be added such as cocktail bar, improvements to main Clubhouse, seating arrangements, heating for the swimming pool and a jogging track. Priorities in the development plan were that whatever did not cost much, the Club should implement immediately. Shretta was also responsible for major changes in the Club rules, for example women were allowed to attend General meetings
