The five courts

Five glass-backed singles courts.

Sprung Canadian-maple floors, white plaster front walls, glass back walls for the gallery. Open all year, late play to ten.

  1. I

    The Frognal Court

    The original 1881 court, glass-backed in 1986 and re-sprung in 2024. The shadiest seat in the pavilion looks down onto it.
