Airdome tennis courts
(Date of issue: Friday, 24 April 2009)
Work to dismantle Carlisle’s tennis airdome was completed
yesterday (Thursday, 23 April).
The airdome allows for indoor tennis to be staged over the
winter months and covers two of Bitts Park’s four floodlit
hardcourts. It was packed away yesterday and will be put up again
for use during autumn and early next year. The courts will continue
to be used and are also floodlit.
It opened for use in early 2008 and the £280,000 Carlisle City
Council project was made possible after £125,000 funding from the
Lawn Tennis Association and other partner funding agreements was
secured. The installation was project managed by Carlisle City
Council.
The courts are managed by Carlisle Leisure Limited on
Carlisle City Council’s behalf and can be booked by telephoning
