Court Improvements 2023

Elmbridge Borough Council have a 3 year rolling programme of court improvement works and Churchfields is scheduled to be resurfaced in 2023. We will provide further specific updates on dates when they are confirmed with the contractor (all works are weather dependent). 

Pease note the courts will be out of action during the court improvement works and players will need use the other Park Tennis sites during that time. The benefits of these court improvements is to keep the facilities in safe working order and to provide players with a quality playing environment in their local park. 

touchtennis Update:

Once the area is open for play, we will only have 4 courts available for play & after two to three weeks they will be rotated round. This will allow the courts that have been in use time to rest and be repaired/re-marked if needed. This will continue throughout the season until we close down the touchtennis courts in the Autumn.

Players should bring their own equipment to use the tennis courts, which includes using sponge tennis balls. There is no booking facility for the touchtennis courts, they are open access for turn up & play, from the 7th May 2022 during park opening times.

Please note there will be no events on the grass this year & we will close them if any of the following occur:

• If Government or LTA rules change
• If we need to introduce booking & limited access
• If any unauthorised form of event/session/coaching occur
• If people are not using the area for the correct purpose &/or vandalising the facilities
• If people are using the "resting" courts for play, this includes adding your own net or playing without a net
• If people are using other areas for touchtennis play & includes marking out your own court &/or setting up a net elsewhere
