Bookings can also be made by contacting Council’s Recreation team on 4732 7930 during business hours.
You can also email recreation@penrith.city for more information.
Access to the courts is controlled by a Personal Identification Number (PIN) security system. A PIN is automatically issued to players when they make an initial booking via SMS or email (following booking confirmation and receipt). Players can use the same PIN for all subsequent bookings.
To access the court(s) at your booked time, simply enter your PIN followed by the enter key into the key pad located at the gate to the courts to open the gate. Your PIN will allow you access to the tennis courts 15 minutes before & 15 minutes after your booking ends.
To exit at any time, simply open the gate and leave the premises.
PLEASE NOTE: The pin pad system does not allow access to the amenities building during the trial period.
IMPORTANT: If you have an evening booking, the lights will switch OFF 15 minutes after your booking ends. Your unique PIN turns the lights ON or KEEPS the lights ON (this is an energy saving feature). You must enter your PIN correctly even if the lights are already ON before you enter the court. You can enter your PIN 15 minutes before your booking commences.
