Tennis courts
We do not take bookings for use of the tennis courts. Users must
turn up and pay for use of the courts when one is free. The busiest
times tend to be afternoon / early evening, particularly in summer.
Our courts are not floodlit as the Park closes at dusk.
Bespoke pitches
During the summer months, our grounds-man marks out three
five-a-side football pitches and one rounders pitch in the
north-east corner of the Park.
There is also a 400m track that is marked out around one of the
football pitches. Depending on requests, there is generally also a
100m and a 50m running track marked out within the Park.
To use any of the above, please
contact us to book.
Our grounds-man is also able to mark out a grass pitch for
almost any game. Please
contact us with your requirements; we will need at least one
weeks notice to prepare a pitch.
Schools
There are a number of schools around the Park and nearly all of
them use the Park for sporting activities and in particular for
sports days.
If you are a school or educational institution wishing to use
the Park, please
contact us to book an area either marked out or not. We do not
charge for the use of unmarked out areas; however, there is a
minimal charge for marking out.
We are also able to book tennis courts for your use.
