  • Why your booking makes all the difference

    Every time you book a court or pitch in Hyde Park, you’re also supporting The Royal Parks. As a charity, your booking fee helps us keep the parks beautiful, bountiful and free for everyone to enjoy. We take care of the Royal Parks so they can take care of you.

  • Being considerate and kind

    We know that sport can be incredibly exciting, and often as thrilling to watch as it is to play. But we ask that you treat every player, spectator and member of staff both on and off the court or pitch, with the same respect and consideration that you’d want yourself.
