Any tennis courts in ED?

[josmolka]

Hello All

Do you know of any tennis courts in East Dulwich?

And how much they cost?

thanks.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Courts in Dulwich Park are free - just came from there now

5 main courts near the bike hire place and another 2 over behind the lake

(although 3 of the 5 main ones had no nets up today)

[josmolka]

Thanks a lot!

And what about the JAGS? they have tennis courts too, don't they?

Sean aren't the 3 without nets a basketball court?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I think they are adapatable to both matthew - although judging by the state of the basketball nets, I'm not sure how much gets played

Some JAGS tennis info here and I have walked passed a few small clubs around the village area as well - but I've never investigated

Here is another one:

Dulwich Laws Tennis CLub

Ruskin Park also has courts (although not ED but near

We went to the Camber tennis club last night- v friendly and great courts. It's opposite Harvester, next to allotments

[josmolka]

sounds good!

so there are fairly many options around ED.

There's some very good ones in Burgess Park if you cycle back that way.

Bit further afield, there's some good ones over in Wimbledon - bit busy at the moment though.

Give the courts in Dulwich park a miss, there's gangs there that steal all your stuff, bikes, bags etc while you're playing they walk around with massive staff cross dogs off lead intimidating would be tennis players. Keep children well away.

Would go to Ruskin park instead, much safer.

Lock your bike up and keep your stuff near the net?

What a loads of bollox.

Advice to anyone anywhere; don't leave your stuff lying around in public places as it may get robbed.

I have played there numerous times and there have been no issues, ever.

I'm in Dulwich park nearly every day and have never seen gangs with scary dogs.

There are courts in Bel Air park and there is a tennis club on East Dulwich Grove, also a tennis club on Gallery Rd.

There's also the North Dulwich Tennis Club, in E Dulwich Grove near Gilkes Crescent - details here

Burgess Park courts were no longer free the last time I went there. They had undergone a refurbishment and had some extra courts added. I think it was ?10 for one hour (though my younger brother went to book it so they charged him children's rate) This was a number of years ago so it may have changed now.

I play at Belair Park which are good courts and are free. Not sure if it is commonplace but the court etiquette there is to stay only for an hour unless there is no one waiting.

Should have put a ;-)

I was just joking, too much queuing for courts st the moment at Dulwich, probably be ok again when Murray gets knocked out, God help us if he wins it though.

There used to be tennis courts in Hornimans Gardens until they did away with them. Also there is a tennis club in lawrie park road between Sydenham and Penge

Speaking of Camberwell, there used to be a couple of free courts in Brunswick Park. A bit run down but just to add more options to the list.

[Cheryl]

The tennis courts opposite West Dulwich station are free and usually less busy than the Dulwich Park ones. And no problem parking - think the car entrance is at the bottom of gallery road.

Maybe this was merely a useful tactic to dissuade people from playing, thus freeing up the courts. In that vein:

DON'T PLAY IN ANY COURTS AROUND E.D! ROAMING BANDS OF SPECTRAL NINJAS COME ALONG AND MISALIGN YOUR CHAKRAS! Play somewhere else!

[Pilch]

Seriously though... any tennis courts available for playing after 7pm?
