The tennis courts at Pennington Hall Park in Leigh are due to have a complete makeover after £30,000 of funding has been secured by Wigan Council.
Council bosses have green lit the plans to repaint the courts from black to green and blue with new nets, posts and line markings to go with it. With public court availability an issue in the UK, this is something the council is keen to work with the Lawn Tennis Association to resolve.
With Wimbledon just around the corner, this LTA funded project giving the tired courts a new lease of life could help inspire the nation’s next tennis champion, it is hoped.
