Epsom & Ewell serves up free tennis this summer
The sessions will be available between 22 July and 29 August 2025
Epsom & Ewell Borough Council will provide free morning tennis sessions in all council-owned tennis courts across the borough this summer
The sessions will be available between 22 July and 29 August 2025.
It comes after the Environment Committee made the decision last week, following a similar initiative last year.
Councillor Liz Frost, Chair of the Environment Committee, commented: “We were really pleased with how well received the free tennis sessions were last summer and we’re very happy to be able to offer them again. They provide a great opportunity to give a tennis a try for free – whether you are a complete beginner, haven’t played for a few years, or just want to get some extra practise in.
“I hope residents will take advantage of the various free sessions on offer now and this summer. Booking details are available on the council’s website.”
Epsom & Ewell moved to a pay-to-play model for tennis last year which aims to ensure that council tennis courts are well-maintained as well as providing funding for future improvements.
Maintenance carried out so far includes clearing and treating all courts for moss; improved signage; new court-side benches at Poole Road and Auriol Park; and installing windbreakers at Court Recreation Ground, Gibraltar Recreation Ground and Poole Road. New laser line marking at Alexandra Park will take place later this year.
From the 1st April residents will also be able to enjoy free Sunday morning sessions at Gibraltar and Poole Road Recreation Grounds.
Court sessions are available to book online 24 hours a day on the ClubSpark website.
