The tennis courts at the historic grounds of Tamworth Castle have reached a significant community milestone, surpassing 1,000 court bookings since reopening with the new online booking system.

Located in the heart of Tamworth, the Castle Grounds courts have quickly become one of the town’s most popular spots for recreational sport. The milestone highlights the growing appetite for accessible, affordable tennis in local parks and open spaces.

Since the courts were made available for public booking, players of all ages and abilities have been taking advantage of the facilities—from families enjoying a casual hit to friends organising competitive matches and beginners picking up a racquet for the first time.

The courts are part of a wider push to revitalise park tennis and encourage more people to get active outdoors. With simple online booking and affordable pricing, the facility has made it easier than ever for residents to get on court.

With momentum continuing to build, organisers are hopeful that the 1,000-booking milestone is just the beginning. Plans are already in motion to introduce more community sessions, social tennis opportunities, and beginner-friendly programmes to help even more people discover the sport.

As summer approaches, the courts at Tamworth Castle Grounds look set to remain one of the town’s busiest and most enjoyable places to play tennis.
