What's the setup here?

The Tennis Club is run entirely by volunteers & is responsible for the management & upkeep of the 6 hard courts in the Park.

The 6 courts are all bookable online. 3 Courts are dedicated to Club Members (Courts 4,5 & 6). The other 3 Courts (1,2 & 3) are available to the public to book & are also bookable by Members at a discounted rate.

The Tennis Pavilion (on the river side next to Court 4) has been re-developed to give us 2 toilets, changing rooms & a kitchenette. This was a Tennis Club initiative funded in part by us & in part by a Council Grant.

There is also a cafe in the Park with toilets.

The Friends of Rowntree Park is a Charity whose volunteers do amazing work in the Park with gardening, litter picking and helping the wildlife. They also run community events and projects with the emphasis on education, mental health and wellbeing. Click here for more info

Why choose Rowntree Park Tennis Club?
