Tennis Courts 

There are two hard courts available for use at both Coalville Park and Whitwick Park that are free to use and there is no need to book, just turn up and play.

Please note: That the tennis courts are locked half hour prior to closing. The courts may also be closed occasionally due to poor weather conditions when the surface is deemed unplayable or for special park events.

Also watch this space as in 2019 we are going to run a tennis 4 free campaign at one of our parks!
