Welcome to Elmgrove Recreation Ground

Park Tennis Updates

With the current hot weather warnings in effect, it's crucial to take extra precautions to stay safe on and off the court. High temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion, dehydration, and heatstroke, especially during intense physical activity.

Please follow these guidelines:

✅ Hydrate regularly – Drink water before, during, and after play. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty.
✅ Wear light, breathable clothing – Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics and light colours.
✅ Use sunscreen – Protect your skin with SPF 30+ and reapply frequently.
✅ Take frequent breaks – Rest in shaded or cool areas between sets.
✅ Know the signs of heat illness – Dizziness, nausea, rapid heartbeat, and confusion are red flags.
✅ Reschedule if needed – Your health comes first. Consider playing early in the morning or later in the evening.

Let’s keep the game safe and enjoyable for everyone. Stay cool, stay smart, and take care of each other out there!
