Back on the courts

Lighten up those dark winter evenings with floodlit tennis

As the light starts to fade and summer draws to a close, playing tennis with floodlights at the Meadows and the all-weather outdoor courts at Craiglockhart Tennis Centre, can now be booked on the Edinburgh Leisure app and website.

Kirsty Stobie, Manager at Craiglockhart Tennis Centre at Edinburgh Leisure said:  “Tennis has proved to be really popular since Edinburgh Leisure’s courts opened up at the beginning of June, when the restrictions were lifted after lockdown.  It’s been great seeing people of all ages getting active back on our courts and taking advantage of free tennis.

“Tennis at the Meadows is unmanned and until now, customers have been able to just rock up and play. However, with the nights drawing in earlier, customers wishing to play with floodlights, can pay to have the lights turned on to coincide with their session.  These sessions can be booked via the Edinburgh Leisure website or app.”

Court prices start from £5 – £10 at the Meadows and £6.60 – £13 at Craiglockhart. Customers are asked to adhere to current social distancing guidelines and to bring their own equipment.
