How much does it cost to play tennis in Greenwich's parks?

The council charges £3 a session at Bostall Gardens, Maryon Park and Plumstead Common, or £30 for an annual pass. Blackheath at Chesterfield Walk is £6.30 for adults and £4.20 for juniors, and Eltham Park South is £6 and £4. Under-16s can play free at Eltham Park South before 6pm when courts are available.

Do you need a code to get onto the courts in Greenwich?

Yes. Once you have booked and paid online the council sends an access code, and you enter it at the court when you arrive. Keep it to hand, because it is the only way in. Some court time at each site is also set aside for community use, and the booking calendar shows which slots that leaves you.

Are the tennis courts in Greenwich Park run by the council?

No. Greenwich Park is a Royal Park, so its six courts are run by The Royal Parks and booked through their own pages rather than the borough's system. The borough's annual pass does not cover them. Everything else in the table above is on the Royal Borough of Greenwich scheme.

Tennis in London

Tennis in Greenwich

No clubs on Courting here yet, and eight public court venues across the borough.

Greenwich charges less for park tennis than most of London. The council puts a court at Bostall Gardens, Maryon Park or Plumstead Common at £3 a session, or £30 for an annual pass, and sends you a gate code when you book. Blackheath at Chesterfield Walk and Eltham Park South cost more. Greenwich Park sits outside the borough scheme altogether: six courts, run by The Royal Parks.

A £3 court is only a bargain if a game happens on it. Four players, one evening, roughly the same standard, is where the plan usually comes apart. Courting is where clubs in the borough run that end of it, from taking the booking through to building the doubles and keeping the rotation honest when more people turn up than there is court for.
