Tennis courts

The six courts located along Gorleston's cliff top have recently reopened after undergoing a full scope of works, that included the resurfacing and refurbishment of the courts, new parameter fencing and the installation of a 'smart gate'.

The courts are available to hire for £7 per hour and can be booked online via https://www.lta.org.uk/book. Once your slot is booked you will be sent a unique PIN code which you will insert into the Smart gate to gain access to the court.

It is hoped in the long-term this new system will ensure maximum court usage, increase participation and support the sustainable operation and maintenance of the courts to a high standard.
