Can you play tennis for free in Haringey?

Yes, for a large part of the week. The council states that its park courts are free before 4pm from Monday to Friday, and £6 an hour at peak times after that. You still book the slot in advance, up to seven days ahead, and the booking is what holds the court for you.

Who runs the coaching on Haringey's park courts?

Access to Sports Project. The council states that all coaching on the courts it manages is provided by their team of coaches, and that no other coach is licensed or insured to coach there, so a private lesson arranged with someone else is not something the council recognises on those courts.

Is there anywhere in Haringey to play tennis under cover?

New River Sport and Fitness has indoor as well as outdoor courts, which is the borough's answer to a wet February. It is a leisure centre rather than a park site, so it sits outside the park network in the table above and books through its own pages.

Tennis in Haringey

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

Haringey's park courts are free for most of the working week. The council states they cost £6 an hour at peak times and nothing at all before 4pm, Monday to Friday. That covers Chapmans Green, Chestnuts Park, Downhills Park, Down Lane Park, Priory Park and Stationers Park, with the rest of the network at Bruce Castle Park, Markfield Park, Albert Road Recreation Ground, O R Tambo Recreation Ground and Finsbury Park.

A court that is free at two on a Tuesday afternoon is only worth something if somebody can play at two on a Tuesday afternoon. That is the gap Courting is built for: members say when they are genuinely free, and the app assembles the game and the booking around those windows instead of leaving it to whoever replies to the group chat first.
