Sports facilities

We have refurbished tennis courts at the following sites:

• Clough Hall Park, Kidsgrove (2 courts)

• Wolstanton Park (4 courts)

• Westlands Sports Ground (10 courts)

All three sites have undergone a refurbishment due to a generous grant from the Lawn Tennis Association. 

In the event of extreme heat conditions all courts at the three sites may be closed without notice to protect the playing surface from damage.

The courts will remain open during the winter months, but please note that the courts and surrounding paths will not be treated and everyone using the courts plays on them at their own risk.

For all sites, any booking from 1 April 2025 will be charged at £2 per court per 1 hour booking. This is an online payment taken at time of booking. 

Refunds can be issued if the hirer decides to cancel up to 1 hour before the booking starts. It is the Hirer’s responsibility to cancel the booking to activate the refund.
