Hackney City Tennis Clubs (HCTC)

Hackney City Tennis Clubs provides accessible, affordable tennis to the local community and the borough of Hackney. HCTC offers tennis courses at Clissold Park and other Hackney parks for both children. All the coaches are LTA qualified.

HCTC was established in 2004, having evolved from The Clissold Park Junior Tennis Club (CPJTC), a not-for-profit club formed in December 1999. CPJTC was the first constituted tennis club in Hackney and the first City Tennis Club in the country offering accessible and affordable tennis to Junior and Adult players in the community.

These tennis courts are maintained and managed by Hackney Council Parks.

Contact:
To get on court call the Tennis Office on 020 7254 4235.
Please note: The club only has one phone line available until it moves to new accommodation.
The line is in constant use for court bookings and general enquiries. They apologise if you
experience problems getting through.
