Safety

Your safety is important to us. Before you play please ensure that you are fit to play. Consult a medical practitioner if you are unsure. Ensure that you wear adequate sun protection and drink plenty of fluids. Wall mounted first aid kits are available in each court. Fire safety equipment is available outside of court 1 next to the front office and in front of the change rooms inside of court 2. All electronic gates have emergency evacuation buttons which must only be used in the event of an emergency.

Courts may be slippery when wet. Please ensure that the courts are dry before playing on them.

The courts are surrounded by a residential area, as a courtesy to neighbours please keep noise levels down.

When in the car park, please ensure that you use the designated pedestrian crossing.

Please ensure that children are supervised at all times.

Climbing of structures is strictly prohibited. Do not lean on handrails.

If you notice a hazard, we would like to know about it so we can address it, so please let us know.
