Richmond Moves for a Healthier Borough

🎾 Cambridge Gardens tennis courts update

Due to the current hot weather, we need to temporarily limit use of the Cambridge Gardens tennis courts for the next two weeks.

To help protect the newly resurfaced courts from damage caused by high temperatures and ensure they remain safe to use, all public bookings will be cancelled during this period, apart from the existing tennis coaching programme.

We’ll review the situation over the coming fortnight and provide an update as soon as possible.

We apologise for any inconvenience. All other tennis courts across the borough remain available to book: https://orlo.uk/30yPZ
