Anyone for Tennis?

Shrewsbury Town Council’s Key Play Scheme kicks off for the summer season next month.

The scheme allows Shrewsbury residents access to sporting facilities not normally available during the day, via rental of a gate key.

From April 4, access to all of Shrewsbury Town Council’s tennis courts and bowling greens will be available to key holders, and up to three guests, up until the end of September.

The facilities include; All Saints Recreation Ground at Castlefields, which has three lawn tennis courts and two crown bowling greens, Silks Meadow at Frankwell, which has two lawn tennis courts and one crown bowling green, and St. Michael’s Street Recreation Ground, which has two lawn tennis courts.

The cost for the season is £28.85 per key holder.

Access is available seven days per week. The fee does not include evening access to bowling greens and only fixed equipment is provided. A deposit will also be required.

Mike Cox, Outdoor Recreation & Asset Manager for Shrewsbury Town Council said: “The Key Play Scheme gives local people the opportunity to use sports facilities at locations that are not normally manned or available for public use. At less than £29 for the entire season, this represents excellent value for money. ”
