Park Tennis Updates

13/02/2026: We have been aware that the net on court 1 is showing signs of wear and tear. It is still usable and we are arranging for a new net to be purchased and installed. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Court Playability Notice: Our outdoor courts are weather-dependent and may take additional time to dry after rain. Please do not play in icy or snowy conditions or attempt to clear ice or snow.

Courts are regularly maintained; however, wet weather can reduce the effectiveness of ongoing moss treatments and affect day-to-day playability. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Solar Sites Notice: Seasonal cloudy weather may reduce solar battery power, which can prevent gates from registering PIN codes, especially for early-morning bookings before any daylight has the chance to recharge the system. The Gate Company is working on solutions to extend battery life. We apologise for any inconvenience.

 

Pay & Play fee change - effective 1 April 2026

From 1 April 2026, the Pay & Play court booking fee will increase by 25p to £6 per hour.

This adjustment supports ongoing court maintenance, gate access systems, booking technology, and long-term sustainability of the park tennis facilities. 

The Play Tennis Pass remains £40 per year for households, providing excellent value for regular players. 

We understand pricing changes matter, which is why we have created a Charges information page to answer any questions you may have. Please view the Charges information first before contacting us with any questions not covered.
