Welcome to the Meadows
The Meadows Tennis has 16 outdoor painted tarmac courts to play on in the heart of the city. You don’t need to be a member of any club - anyone can enjoy one of the best tennis experiences in Edinburgh.
From 1st October 2023 to 31st March 2024 you do not have to book to play on our courts, simply just come along and enjoy a game on a free court. We also offer 6 Floodlit Courts during this period that are bookable from 4-10pm 7 days a week and these can be booked via our App or by visiting here.
We're also proud to offer tennis coaching programmes at the Meadows and Craiglockhart Tennis Centre.
Court Bookings for the Meadows Tennis Courts can be found under Craiglockhart on the Edinburgh Leisure App - click the Meadows Tennis Bookings tile
