Poole Park offers 4 main courts and 2 mini tennis courts which are open 365 days a year, with floodlights available on courts 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Floodlight use is charged at £4 per hour and can be purchased online when booking a court.

The floodlights will automatically turn on 5 minutes before your booking for a warm up period and will automatically turn off 5 minutes after your booking time ends, allowing time for you to safely leave the courts.

Floodlights are operational between 1st October and 30th April and are scheduled in accordance with daylight hours.
