New tennis courts opening this bank holiday weekend

On Monday 5 May, we invite all players and their little ones to join us in unveiling seven newly refurbished tennis courts at Carlisle Park.

To offer our residents an excellent park and community location for tennis in the borough, extensive work has been undertaken to re-lay five courts and re-paint all seven courts at Carlisle Park. Come along to our opening event to test out the newly refurbished courts and take a look.

The opening event will feature a variety of engaging activities for all ages. In the morning, there will be Mini Tennis, Tots & Playball Taster Classes for young players, followed by Junior Tennis Demonstrations and Teen Games. Families can join in a Family Tennis Class to play mini tennis together. Adults will have their own session with a tennis clinic, ball machine demonstration, and racket demos. 

At 1pm, join us for an official re-launch of the tennis courts in Carlisle Park. In the afternoon, there will be match play and competitions, including a timed tennis family doubles event and an 8 and under mini tennis match play event. The day will wrap up with prizes and presentations. 

• Date: Monday 5 May 2025
• Time: 10am to 4pm
• Location: Carlisle Park, Wensleydale Road, TW12 2LY

Book your classes and competitions

Residents can walk in and turn up on the day, but spaces are limited so we advise to book in advance. Some classes are free to play on the day but will be asking for small charity donations for our tennis provider TW Tennis' new sports foundation. Other classes have entry fees to cover prizes and trophies.

For enquiries, contact our tennis provider TW Tennis at info@twtennis.co.uk.

Investment in community facilities is one of the priorities in our new Leisure Strategy which aims to help residents of all ages build healthy, lifelong habits.
