This is the original home of the St Albans Tennis League, but following a fire in August 2011 only 3 courts, under a bubble, and one outdoor court are available for use. There is a high demand for the courts, but there are slots available if you can be flexible. The centre is being rebuilt and will reopen at some point between April 2013 and October 2014.
Prices:
Bubble: £17.10 residents, £19 non-residents.
Outdoor courts: £7 residents, £7.70
