Club History

The tennis club was originally formed in the early 1900's in Albert Park as part of the Abingdon Croquet and Tennis Club. In Albert Park, club members played tennis on four grass courts. In the mid 1980's we moved to our current location, The Southern Town Park off Lambrick Way, Abingdon. Here the facilities expanded to six all-weather courts, all of which are now floodlit to allow tennis to be played all-year-round up to 10 p.m. every day.
