Summary: Tennis in the Park:
The Tennis In The Park scheme was launched at Shelley Park 6 years ago in partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association and Bournemouth Borough Council. It was created to improve the management of the tennis courts in parks around Bournemouth at an affordable price to the public. The scheme involves purchasing a key fob through the West Hants Club Community Programme who operates the scheme which then allows them to play unlimited tennis per household for £30 per Year. Court booking is managed through an online booking system. After the success of the pilot in 2011 three more park sites were added to this scheme, Winton Recreational Ground 6 courts (4 floodlit), Swanmore Gardens 8 courts and Redhill Park 3 courts.
