Tennis in Redbridge
No clubs on Courting here yet, and ten public court venues across the borough.
Redbridge runs ten park tennis sites through Vision RCL, from Valentines Park in Ilford, which is much the largest at eight courts, out to Ray Park in Woodford and Barkingside Recreation Ground. Clayhall Park has six and Goodmayes Park four; most of the rest have two. The pricing is by time of day rather than flat: the council states £3 between 12pm and 5pm on weekdays, and £6 at weekends and from 5pm to closing.
A cheap midweek afternoon is only a bargain if somebody else can make it, and that is where an otherwise straightforward plan usually dies. Courting exists for that gap: members say when they are actually free, and the app builds the group and the booking around those windows instead of leaving it to whoever answers first.

Tennis in Redbridge: common questions
- How much does it cost to book a tennis court in Redbridge?
- The council states £3 between 12pm and 5pm Monday to Friday, and £6 at weekends and from 5pm until closing on weekdays. It also describes courts in the borough that can be booked free of charge, so it is worth checking the site's own booking page for the slot you want before assuming a price.
- Which Redbridge park has the most tennis courts?
- Valentines Park in Ilford, with eight, then Clayhall Park with six and Goodmayes Park with four. Barley Lane Recreation Ground, Elmhurst Gardens, Loxford Park, Ray Park, Seven Kings Park and South Park in Ilford have two apiece, and Barkingside Recreation Ground has one.
- Who runs the tennis courts in Redbridge's parks?
- Vision RCL, the charitable trust that manages the borough's parks and leisure facilities for Redbridge Council. The council describes the courts as reopening after a £609,674 renovation managed by the LTA and funded by the UK Government, the LTA Tennis Foundation, the council and Vision. Booking runs through Play Tennis Redbridge, and the court gates carry a QR code as a shortcut.
