The Redcatch Park tennis consultation has now concluded. The consultation was available from 6 June to 18 July 2023 and received 295 responses.
Following the consultation, the Executive Director (People) has decided that the operation, maintenance and funding of the tennis courts in Redcatch Park is incorporated within the Bristol Parks Tennis Operating Model.
Bristol City Council is consulting on a proposed change to how we operate, maintain and pay for the tennis courts in Redcatch Park in Knowle.
Currently, use of the tennis courts is free and people can turn up and play. There is no way of booking the courts. The council cannot afford to maintain Redcatch Park tennis courts in the way we do now.
To provide a long-term sustainable plan for tennis at Redcatch Park, we propose that the courts in Redcatch Park would join the ‘Parks Tennis Operating Model’ that has been used in Eastville Park, St George Park and Canford Park since 2019. This would mean that people pay to use the tennis courts and would book a court to be sure it is available. A tennis operator (the sports charity Wesport) would be responsible for the management and operation of the courts, and all repairs and maintenance costs. There would be an accessible and inclusive tennis programme which, in addition to public bookings, would include tennis coaching opportunities, competitively-priced coaching for children, community tennis initiatives and opportunities for free play.
In this consultation, we are asking for your views on this proposal.

What happens next?
All responses to this consultation will be analysed and the feedback will help us develop final proposals for how we operate the tennis courts at Redcatch Park. The final decisions about the Redcatch Park tennis courts proposals will be taken by the Executive Director (People) in consultation with the Mayor during late summer/autumn 2023. The Executive Director (People) will take responses to the consultation into consideration when making their decisions.
