Secure sports facilities for schools and communities

Sport and teamwork build vital life skills and support long‑term health and wellbeing – and we actively encourage local schools and community groups to join us in playing together in an outdoor, natural environment. With all-weather hard tennis courts, padel courts, multi-use games areas, an Astroturf pitch, grass pitches and excellent accessible facilities, we’re proud to welcome thousands of schoolchildren each year. 

School and community group bookings can be made at Hyde Park, The Regent’s Park and Greenwich Park. To accommodate term timetables, schools and community groups can make block bookings of at least four weeks.

  • Hyde Park

    Hyde Park’s central location and well-maintained courts and pitches make it the ideal sports venue for schools and community groups looking to offer tennis, padel, netball, football, rugby, softball, or rounders. Facilities include a floodlit Astroturf multi-use games area, unmarked grass pitches, six floodlit tennis courts, and one floodlit padel court - all available year-round.
    Hyde Park is a welcoming, inclusive sports facility suitable for children and young people. Amenities include accessible toilets and water stations, conveniently located at The Courts Café.

  • Greenwich Park

    Greenwich Park offers six hard tennis courts, available year-round for schools and community groups, providing a welcoming space for players of all levels. Toilet facilities and a café are just a short walk from The Courts.
    In addition, our full-size cricket pitch is available for hire from May to August - perfect for matches and training. When hiring the pitch, groups also enjoy access to the cricket pavilion, complete with changing rooms, toilets, and a small kitchen.

The Regent's Park

The Regent’s Park is London’s largest outdoor sports facility. The Courts are located in the south of the park near York Bridge, while pitches can be found more centrally at The Hub. Both venues are fully accessible and feature toilets and welcoming cafés, making them ideal sports destinations for schools and community groups looking to offer tennis, padel, netball, football, rugby, softball, cricket, or rounders.
