There is a tennis court in Ravenstonedale. The court is in a beautiful location by the side of a stream called Scandal Beck. There is a children’s play park and picnic area next to the tennis court. The court is open to the public all year. There is no need to book. Ravenstonedale tennis club maintains the court.
Residents of Ravenstonedale and the surrounding area and regular visitors to the area are welcome to join the tennis club. The cost is £10 per year for individuals and £20 per year for family membership. This gives unlimited play.
Non-club members are welcome to play and are asked to make a donation of £2 per session. There is an honesty box near the gate, which leads from the road to the tennis court. This is emptied regularly.
Tennis players are asked to be respectful to other players, who may be waiting and give way to others when a game is finished. If you have any queries please contact the secretaries Andrew Leach or Heather Leach at ravenstonedaletennisclub@outlook.com or phone 015396 23675.
