Tennis Courts

Council-run and club-run courts are mostly booked the same way - online, via ClubSpark or the club's own site.

There are 13 places to play tennis across Brighton & Hove - council parks, club-run courts, and one venue with courts indoors for the winter. Here's every one of them, sorted alphabetically, with how to book each one.

Booking a court is the easy part. If you've got the court but not the opponent, Play Locals is built for exactly that - see below ↓.

Last checked: August 2026. Booking systems change - always confirm on the venue's own site before you travel.
