The Lawn Tennis Association have funded and completed a refurbishment programmed to undertake improvements at the following parks:
Bowling Park, Lister Park, Peel Park, Haworth Central Park, Northcliffe Park, Myrtle Park, Cottingley Manor Park, Temple Rhydding Park, Silsden Park and Menston Park.
These courts and those at Ilkley Lido, Oxenhope Recreation Ground and Menston Park are now available to book online via the LTA website www.lta.org.uk/play
A nominal charge of £4 per hour to use the tennis courts across the district or an annual pass of £30 per household is being introduced in the near future help to build up a fund to ensure we are able to maintain the courts and improve those that will require refurbishment in future years.
Together with the LTA we are currently in the process of appointing a coaching operator to deliver coaching sessions together with a range of organised free park tennis sessions for all ages, playing levels and experience where equipment is provided, meaning that people will not need someone to play with or their own racket. Local Tennis Leagues will also provide friendly, sociable, opportunities to get active through local competition. More information to follow.
