Mims Davies MP was thrilled to be at the relaunch of the park tennis courts at Mount Noddy Recreation Ground in East Grinstead.
There was lots of activity on court from 10:00 - 12:00 with lots of children coming outside for fresh air and exercise.
This follows the brilliant announcement of investment into park tennis courts in Mid Sussex with £55,392.23 invested to transform tennis courts at:
- Bolnore Woodside Tennis
- Cuckfield Recreation Ground
- Mount Noddy Recreation Ground, East Grinstead
- St John's Park, Burgess Hill
- Victoria Park, Haywards Heath
These works have been funded as part of the Parks Tennis Project, a joint investment by the LTA Tennis Foundation and UK Government, delivered by the LTA, to refurbish public tennis courts across Britain and support a new generation of players to get into the sport.
This investment is designed to open up tennis to people of all backgrounds, to level up sports provision across the nation, and provide greater opportunities for children and adults to be active.
Park tennis courts are particularly important in providing affordable, engaging and accessible opportunities for more female players and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as being the most popular venue for women to play after they have left education.
Alongside this investment, both authorities and local coaching providers will be working with the LTA to deliver a range of tennis activities catering to all ages and abilities.
This will include free park tennis sessions where equipment is provided, and Local Tennis Leagues.
