FAQs

When are the courts open?

Courts are open every day from 9am, closing time may vary seasonly.

 

Once I have booked my court, how do I get access?

Once you have booked your court, you will receive a booking confirmation email.

Your booking confirmation will include a 4 digit gate code that you should enter on the keypad at the gate. It is always useful to have your booking confirmation handy for inspection purposes. 

 

I haven’t received confirmation of my booking or my gate access code. What should I do?

The gate access code is provided within your confirmation email. Please check the junk folder of the email account provided when you signed up. 

Alternatively please log into your Clubspark account and check your bookings where you will see the details of your booking, alongside the gate access code.

If you still cannot find your confirmation email or gate access code, email clerk@cuxtonparish.gov.uk in advance of your booking.

 

What do I do if my PIN code doesn’t work?

Check your booking is on the correct day and time.

Are you entering the code within your allocated booking time? (No more than 10 minutes before or after your booked session).

If you have followed all these steps and are still unable to open the gate please email clerk@cuxtonparish.gov.uk for further advice.

 

What do the tones/sounds mean on the keypad?

Two short tones (with a blue light displayed) signals that the code has been input correctly.

A short tone (with a red light displayed) signals that the code has been input incorrectly.

A long tone (with a red light displayed) signals that the code has been input incorrectly three times. The keypad has now been locked, and you will need to wait one minute before trying again.

Why will residents have to pay a fee to use the tennis courts?

Tennis court maintenance costs need to be managed carefully to ensure the facilities are sustainable for the future. The income from booking fees will contribute towards the maintenance and future investment into the site. 

 

Will there still be any free tennis opportunities?
