Tennis court renovation programme

About the project

Barnet Council and the LTA have announced a partnership to invest in and refurbish 21 public park tennis courts across the borough.

The project is part of a nationwide investment by the UK Government and LTA Tennis Foundation, delivered by the LTA, to refurbish public tennis courts across Great Britain, and open up the sport to many more people.

Thousands of existing park tennis courts in poor or unplayable condition will be brought back to life.

New gate access technology and booking systems will improve court accessibility and benefit communities across the country.

Who it will benefit

Park tennis courts are vital in providing opportunities for children and adults to get active.

Playing tennis can also benefit physical and mental health and wellbeing.

Creating accessible public tennis courts will also open up the sport to those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and people of all genders.

Tennis activities

Weekly organised free park tennis sessions for all ages, playing levels and experience.

Equipment is provided and you won't need someone to play with.

Local Tennis Leagues will also provide friendly, sociable, opportunities to get active through local competition. 

New season ticket model

A new season ticket model will be introduced after the renovation.

There will be an open and affordable pricing policy and the courts will be operated in a sustainable way.

We will update this page with more information soon.
