Its game, set and match as ace refurbishment of People’s Park courts is completed
09/08/2024
Slots can now be booked via the Banbury Town Council website
Anyone wanting to play tennis in People’s Park can make the most of newly refurbished courts which have reopened today, in time for the weekend.
A partnership between Banbury Town Council and the Lawn Tennis Association saw a £10,000 investment to rejuvenate the popular facility – which will continue to be free to play on.
The refurbishment has been planned for the last few months.
As well as being fully cleaned, the courts have been repainted and a gate access system installed. This is linked to a new online booking system, accessed via the Banbury Town Council website. Once a court has been booked, players will be given a one-time code to use on the keypad at the entrance to the courts.
Ruscote Town Councillor, Barry Richards visited the newly refurbished courts this afternoon. He said the courts are “a true reflection of a People’s Park, a welcome upgrade to a popular venue, and with the new booking system … for the committed players and fun players alike. Banbury Town Council is continually improving recreational facilities in our town.”
This refurbishment is the first in a number of changes being made to People’s Park Tennis Courts, in order to rejuvenate them and prepare them for continued use in the future. The courts will be available to use year-round, and the new system will ensure that there is less confusion or clashing of schedules amongst Banbury’s tennis enthusiasts.
