About
If you're looking for a cracking spot to serve up some aces in North Edinburgh, Victoria Park is your go-to! Tucked away in the lovely Trinity area, you'll find two recently spruced-up outdoor tennis courts just waiting for a rally. The best part? They're often free for public use, making it super accessible for everyone. Keep an eye out for their free social tennis sessions on weekends – it’s a brilliant way to meet new people and get a good workout without needing a partner. While they're generally free, there are also membership options that could unlock booking benefits, or you might find a small hourly charge of £1-£3, so it's worth checking their website. You can book a court up to 100 days in advance, but remember, kids under 13 need an adult to book for them.
