Burpham tennis rally draws 60 after park closure notice at Sutherland Memorial
On Tuesday 30 May, over 60 local players turned out at Sutherland Memorial Park to back a community push for tennis in Burpham, responding to a Guildford Borough Council notice that park courts would be closed from April to October [1].Organisers have launched the Burpham Community Tennis hub with online booking and a simple route into sessions, offering Social Tennis alongside Junior Coaching and Cardio Tennis to get all ages moving [1][2]. The rallying effort follows the original Burpham Tennis Club folding during the COVID‑19 period, with volunteers now focused on restoring regular court use at the park [1].The programme is building around community events too, including a session planned during Burpham Wellfest on Sunday 9 July, with more activity scheduled through the summer [1]. Players can find times and book via the ClubSpark page [2].
