rothamsted park tennis courts re-launch event

To celebrate the relaunch of the Rothamsted Park tennis courts, Harpenden Town Council is organising an exciting event on Saturday 22^nd July, 10am to 12noon. Free coaching taster sessions are on offer, as well as food and drinks stalls and craft activities for children. We are also delighted to announce that the Mayor of Harpenden, Cllr Fiona Gaskell, will be officially opening the courts at 10am.

Since the Town Council’s acquisition of the courts, we have been working hard to make big improvements: installing new nets, professionally jet washing and conducting moss treatment to ensure the playing surface is of the quality you would expect, overgrown hedging and scrub from the rear of the courts has been cleared, and grass areas cut so that tennis balls can be easily retrieved. The most significant change is the installation of a partially funded Lawn Tennis Association ClubSpark booking and automated gate system which enables the courts to be booked and accessed easily by members of the public at their own leisure (visit: Rothamsted Park / Rothamsted Harpenden Hertfordshire Elliswick Amenbury Menace (lta.org.uk). An upgrade to the floodlighting system is also planned for later this year.

The Rothamsted Tennis Court Re-Launch event is organised to coincide with the Lawn Tennis Association’s Big Tennis Weekends, in association with the Lawn Tennis Association and our free tennis coaches ‘Park Tennis’.

Whether you’re already a committed tennis fan, or would just like to know more about this fantastic local facility, we hope you will join us!
