In 2023 Vision RCL managed a huge renovation project of tennis courts in ten parks across the Borough as part of long term plan to improve Parks and other health and well-being facilities. All thanks to significant investment from the Government, the Lawn Tennis Association and commitments from the London Borough of Redbridge and Vision RCL.

Book courts online using your phone
If you haven’t already, you should download the Play tennis app on iOS orAndroid. The Play Tennis app is a new court booking tool launched this summer – making it easier than ever for players to find and book tennis courts at your venue. The app allows players to secure a court, join classes and connect with local players through the new Communities function. The app focuses on making the journey to court as easy as possible. Using features like biometric login as well as Google and Apple pay it is now possible to book a court in as little as four taps.
Tennis Coaching
Dive into tennis fun at our new tennis courts. Grab your racket and get ready to hit the court. Learn new skills and engage in friendly competition whilst making new friends. Whether you’re a beginner, or a tennis enthusiast, our tennis camps are designed for kids of all skill levels.
Become a Tennis Activator
Play your part in helping people in your community play tennis for free at your local park.
Your support may be the reason why someone picks up a racket for the first time and discovers a new sport for life.
Barclays Free Park Tennis sessions wouldn’t be possible without the incredible work of volunteer activators. These teams work together to plan and lead fun activities on court as well as collaborating with venues and operators to help more people get active and enjoy tennis with free weekly sessions.
We’re looking for more people to join their local team of volunteers and help make a difference in the community.
You don’t need to be a coach or even have that much experience playing tennis, anyone can become a Barclays Free Park Tennis Activator – we’ll give you everything you need to succeed.
