Activities at The Courts
Explore sports across the Royal Parks
Playing court sports in one of London’s Royal Parks is a unique experience – you’ll enjoy top notch playing facilities in some the capital's most beautiful natural settings. Beginner or pro, our courts are open to everyone, and you’ll find plenty of ways to enjoy a game of tennis or padel, plus courts for netball and a 5-a-side football pitch.
Tennis
Get into tennis or improve your game alongside other players at your level in a friendly, welcoming environment both on court and off. You can book an hour’s game, sign up for a Tennis Course or our Weekly Tennis Classes, or arrange Private Tennis Coaching that’s tailored to your learning style and goals. We welcome players of all levels, but please make sure to book ahead, as courts fill up quickly. Court bookings can be made up to seven days in advance, with new slots released daily at 7am.
Padel
Padel is increasingly popular and offers a fun, energetic way to stay active. In Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park, our full‑size courts provide the perfect setting to enjoy the game. You can book a court for casual play, join a structured Padel Course or our Weekly Classes, or arrange a Private Padel Coaching. We welcome players of every level, but please make sure to book ahead, as courts fill up quickly. Court bookings can be made up to seven days in advance, with new slots released daily at 7am.
5-a-side football
Hyde Park’s floodlit Astroturf pitch provides the ideal setting for a friendly 5‑a‑side kickabout. With high‑quality facilities and a central London location, it’s perfect for casual matches. The pitch is available to book year‑round, offering a flexible, welcoming space for groups to enjoy football together.
Netball
Our netball courts in Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park are available for block bookings throughout the year, and we’d love to hear from schools, sports clubs, sports associations, league providers and charitable organisations looking to make regular use of these excellent facilities.
Table tennis
Table tennis is a friendly, social sport that brings people of all ages together. Our two outdoor tables at Hyde Park and The Regent’s Park are available to book in hourly slots at reception. We provide bats and balls, so it’s easy to enjoy a fun, active game.
Lawn Bowls
Play a game of lawn bowls on the only bowling green to have the iconic Albert Memorial as its backdrop. Hyde Park’s six rink bowling green means up to six games can be played simultaneously.
The bowling green is open from Easter to late-September for one off bookings, bowling club matches and special events.
