TENNIS COURTS
The Parish Council owns two tennis courts on the Prestbury Memorial Playing Field. These are leased to the Prestbury Tennis Club on a long term basis but are open to the general public when not in use by Tennis Club members.
PRESTBURY TENNIS CLUB
As the only tennis club in Prestbury and with a membership of over sixty families the club is committed to promoting the sport of tennis throughout the year and for all ages. To that end they offer Social tennis on Sunday and Monday mornings and on Wednesday evenings and a booking service for the courts.
To encourage youth tennis the club has a junior membership and Saturday morning coaching sessions. Further, the club has opened to the parishioners of Prestbury the use of the courts, especially children, for the after-school hours of 4-6pm Monday to Thursday on a first come basis throughout the year.
All Prestbury tennis players are welcome to use the tennis courts, apart from schoolchildren's and social tennis times, bearing in mind that tennis club members have court priority.

Situated on the Parish Council's Prestbury Memorial Playing Field site, it is a convenient stopping-off point on the route to and from school as well as first introduction to outdoor play for the younger children
Our Play facilities are subject to a three-tier inspection regime following the principles set out by ROSPA. This consists of a routine daily/weekly visual check by our Groundsman for obvious hazards that can result from vandalism, use or weather conditions, an operational inspection to check the operation and stability of equipment especially for wear and an annual main inspection carried out by an qualified outside body to establish the overall level of safety of equipment, foundations and surfaces, effects of weather, presence of rotting or corrosion and any change in the level of safety of the equipment as a result of repairs made, or replaced components.
ALAN ROBSON MEMORIAL FIELD - NOVERTON
The Alan Robson Memorial Field was acquired by the Parish Council in 1976 and has been left as a natural open space for the quiet enjoyment of the countryside
PRESTBURY PARISH COUNCIL – SPORTS/PLAY/RECREATION PROVISION
In February 2011 the Parish Council formally adopted its policy on sports, play and recreation provision. The Policy statement recorded the Parish Council's commitment to maintain a balance between sports, play and general recreation use on its Prestbury Road Playing Field with a natural open green space maintained on the Alan Robson Memorial Field. It is important that our public open space has the flexibility to meet the individual and combined needs of many groups including those with an interest in sport and informal physical activity. We believe in the principle that there should be the opportunity for people of all ages to be able to share the open green spaces that the community and the Parish Council value highly.
