Welcome to Elmgrove Recreation Ground

Park Tennis Updates

12/12/2024: we are aware of some access issues at the solar powered sites due to the consistent level of cloud over the past week. The gate company are awaiting a new supply of batteries which will then be installed, hopefully next week.

Unfortunately, with the equipment that is installed at these sites the gate companies cannot set the gates to another access method. The locking side of these are what is known as fail closed, so when the power drops out the gate remains locked until the power kicks back in. Apologies for the inconvenience and we are working to solve the issue.

 

Christmas + New Year: The Park Tennis inbox will not be monitored from lunch time on Tuesday 24th December and the Council office will be closed from 5pm on the same day. We will be back in office on Thursday 2nd January 2025.
