Liverpool Tennis Centre

Liverpool Tennis Centre has six indoor acrylic tennis courts and six outdoor macadam tennis courts, four of which are floodlit. The venue was built with funding from the Lawn Tennis Association, Sport England and Liverpool City Council. It has hosted major tennis competitions, including the Liverpool International Tennis Tournament in 2003 and the Nike Junior International in 2013 and 2014. Until recently, the Centre was closed to the public during the day but is now open from 9.00am every day for coaching and pay-and-play customers.

The development has two swimming pools, one Olympic standard 8-lane 50 metre pool and a smaller four lane 20m pool.^[1] It cost £2.1million to maintain in 2008.^[2] To fund the build, £13m was borrowed by Liverpool City Council. The final bill will be £31m, once the debt is repaid in 2008, at a cost of £1.3m a year.^[2]
