Bedford’s park tennis courts get £370,000 redevelopment

Bedford Borough Council has secured £370,000 worth of funding to refurbish park tennis courts across the borough.

The investment is part of the LTA’s £30m Park Tennis Project, which will result in the refurbishment of thousands of public tennis courts across the UK.

In addition to improving the courts through a mixture of resurfacing, repainting and new nets, there will be new gate-access technology and an online booking system.

The council said these will be introduced later in 2024 to make it easier for players to find, book and get on a court.
