Work is under way on an £80,000 facelift for two park tennis venues in our area.
Staff were on site on Wednesday at Palatine Park in Lancaster working on a refurbishment of the public tennis courts.
The £79,632 renovation, to also include Happy Mount Park in Morecambe, was announced by Lancaster City Council and the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) last year.
The project is part of a nationwide investment delivered by the LTA and supported by the LTA Tennis Foundation, to refurbish public tennis courts across Great Britain, and open up the sport to many more people.
The Palatine Park tennis courts are close to the Beyond Radio studios in Bowerham, Lancaster. See photo of work below.

This investment will see thousands of existing park tennis courts in poor or unplayable condition brought back to life for the benefit of communities across the country through renovation works, and improved court accessibility with new gate-access technology and booking systems.
Lancaster City Council will also work with the LTA to organise weekly, free park tennis sessions for all ages, playing levels and experience - with equipment provided - meaning anyone can play tennis without needing to find someone else to play with or have their own racket. Local Tennis Leagues will also provide friendly, sociable, opportunities to get active through local competition.
