Tennis courts in Bognor Regis relaunched after £60,000 cash injection

The cash injection saw new life breathed into the three tennis courts themselves, as well as the installation of new gate access technology across three other park sites in Arun.

All the work was funded by the Parks Tennis Project, which represents a joint investment by the LTA Tennis Foundation and the UK government, with the hopes of refurbishing public tennis courts across Britain and welcoming a new generation of players into the sport.

Organisers hope the refurbished, publicly accessible tennis courts will open the sport up to players from all backgrounds, improve sports provision across the UK, and make it easier for children and adults to stay active. “Park tennis courts are particularly important in providing affordable, engaging and accessible opportunities for more female players and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as being the most popular venue for women to play after they have left education,” a spokesperson said.
