If you’ve been down to the courts recently, you might have noticed a bit of extra activity around the perimeter fencing on the north and west sides of our main block of 16 tennis and netball courts.
Thanks to recent structural upgrades completed by the Council to reinforce the fencing, brand-new windbreakers are officially being installed across all courts!
The north end windbreakers are already fully installed and operational, giving players an immediate shield against those tough southerly and northerly gusts. Installations along the remaining west and south sides will follow very shortly to complete the barrier.
Whether you're serving for match point or cheering on your team from the sidelines, these additions will drastically cut down crosswinds, making playing, scoring, and spectating much more enjoyable on breezy days.
