  • The Council reserves the right to cancel bookings, where there is cause, at their discretion. An email will be sent to the member notifying them should this be necessary.
  • The Council reserves the right to pre-book the Courts for coaching, events and maintenance
  • In the event of bad weather/adverse playing conditions users should inform the Council that play has been cancelled the same day

Court Rules

  • Please ensure you close the court gate properly when you enter and leave the court and help us to keep the courts in a safe condition by reporting any damage or suspicious behaviour to the Council
  • Smoking is not permitted on the Courts
  • No dogs are permitted on the courts

Annual Pass Terms and Conditions

  • In addition to observing the general terms of use above, Annual Tennis Pass holders are advised:
  • This annual membership allows for a household of up to 5 people to play Tennis in the Park at all four of Surrey Heath Borough Council's park sites; London Road Recreation Ground, Watchetts Recreation Ground, Frimley Green Recreation Ground and Mytchett Recreation Ground. Should more than 5 people wish to be associated with a membership, a second Annual Tennis Pass will be required.

  • The Annual Tennis Pass is not permitted to be used for the receipt or delivery of professional coaching services (please see the coaching tab for more information).
  • Surrey Heath Borough Council reserves the right to terminate Annual Tennis Pass memberships, without refund, where there is evidence of repeated or gross abuse of the booking system and/or terms of use.
