Tennis enthusiasts can now enjoy serving and volleying on improved courts at Burntwood Leisure Centre following completion of a refurbishment programme.
Lichfield District Council commissioned Microsports to undertake the work this year which has seen the two hard courts in the leisure centre grounds stripped of weeds and vegetation, pressure cleaned and resurfaced.
The tennis courts have been marked out and are open for use by beginners, novices and experienced players. Netball lines also overlay the tennis courts to make two netball courts.
Lichfield District Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Leisure and Major Projects, Councillor Andy Smith, said:
“I’m really pleased with the refurbished tennis courts at Burntwood Leisure Centre. We aim to provide the best sporting facilities possible across the district and know how important that is to residents.
“I’m positive these new courts will help encourage residents to be more active, more often and for longer.”
Michael Hampson, of Microsports, said:
“I’m really pleased to see the opening of the refurbished tennis courts at Burntwood Leisure Centre. The milestone stands as a testament to the hard work and dedication from all stakeholders to make the project a reality. May the courts inspire countless matches, foster new friendships and serve as a vibrant community hub for all to share the love of tennis."
