Which Newham park has the most tennis courts?

West Ham Park, with twelve, which the City of London Corporation calls one of the most popular tennis facilities in east London and charges £7.90 per court per hour. Of the council's own network, Stratford Park is the largest at six all-weather courts, all floodlit.

Are any of Newham's tennis courts floodlit?

Two sites. The operator states that Stratford Park's six all-weather courts are all equipped with floodlights, and that Lyle Park's two courts are floodlit as well. Newham Council's own facility list for Stratford Park backs that up, carrying both a floodlit tennis court and a tennis court as separate entries. The other seven sites say nothing about lighting, so we have left it unrecorded.

How do you get onto a booked court in Newham?

With a PIN. The operator emails the code and shows it on screen when you pay, and you enter it at the court gate when you arrive. Pay and play starts at £6 an hour and is available at every venue, or there is a Play Pass at £35 for twelve months, which anyone can buy without living in the borough.

Tennis in Newham

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

Newham runs nine park tennis sites through Newham Parks Tennis, all of them all-weather, from Stratford Park's six floodlit courts down to pairs at Canning Town, Hermit Road and Lyle Park. Pay and play starts at £6 an hour, or £35 a year for a Play Pass, and you get a PIN by email that opens the gate. West Ham Park sits apart from all of it: twelve courts, owned and run by the City of London Corporation, booked separately.

Newham is one of the youngest boroughs in the country and one of the most transient, which makes a standing four harder to hold together than the court supply suggests. That is the problem Courting is built around: the group is settled before the court is, from members who have said they are free, and the booking is held for the people who are actually coming.
