Tennis court hire

Once you have booked a court online you will receive a PIN to access the court/s you have booked.

Frequently asked questions

If my booking is from 7pm-8pm, at what time can I access the courts with my PIN and when will the lights come on?

Booking PIN’s are active 15 minutes before you’re booking start time and will become inactive 15 minutes after your booking end time. Your booking PIN for this booking can be used anytime between 6:45pm and 8:15pm. Once the booking PIN has been entered, the lights for your courts will begin to turn on when there is insufficient daylight, and will automatically turn off 15 minutes after your booking ends.

How do I know if I have entered my PIN correctly?

When you enter your PIN, you will need to listen carefully for the beeps of the PIN Pad. A valid PIN entry will be confirmed by two short beeps. If your PIN is not valid or has been entered incorrectly, you will hear one long tone. The pin pad light should also turn green after a valid booking PIN has been successfully entered.

My lights on my court are already on. Do I need to enter my booking PIN?

Yes. Please ensure you ALWAYS enter your booking PIN when you arrive, even if the lights are on and/or the gate is unlocked.

My lights have turned off, what should I do?

There may be time where your lights have unexpectedly turned off. If your booking is still valid and lights are still required, simply re-enter your booking PIN at the gate and the lights automatically turn back on provided there is still time remaining for the booking.

Note: You may need to allow for the lights to cool down / warm up.

I didn’t pay for lights. How do I turn them on?

There is no additional payment required for lights. Provided you have entered your PIN at the start of your booking and it is dark enough outside, the lights on your court will automatically turn on. The system monitors the light level and ensures there is enough light to play.
