Bakewell Tennis Courts are now OPEN.
There is a new electronic gate access system and accessible pathway from the football pitch side. (The sign for the courts and QR code for booking is still located on the old access gate and this will be moved shortly onto the new gate). We would recommend booking online before turning up to play.
To celebrate the opening of the newly resurfaced courts we are making the courts free for October (subject to pre-booked activities we are delivering). From November our regular charges will begin in line with Hall Leys Park fees £6, to ensure ongoing maintenance and high standards.
There will be free access Monday - Friday 4 - 6pm and Saturday & Sundays 2-4pm for the first 12 months. This will still require booking. (Daylight hours only)
The basketball hoop is on court 1.
Bikes, scooters, skateboards, roller skates/blades, remote controlled cars are not permitted on the courts as they can damage the court surface.

Bakewell Recreation Ground is also known as Rutland Recreation Ground. It provides fun and enjoyment for people of all ages. It is set in 5.25 hectares of land, and has great outdoor sporting facilities.
In the south east corner where the river meanders around the edge of the park a new wildflower meadow has been created, a perfect area to sit and relax.
The park is just a few minutes' walk away from the town centre of Bakewell, so you can buy sandwiches and drinks and have a picnic in the summer.
