BETTER, the charitable social enterprise that operates leisure facilities across the borough on behalf of Lambeth Council, has announced plans for the phased re-opening of outdoor leisure facilities from Monday 29 March 2021.
Outdoor Tennis
Lambeth Council is preparing tennis courts in Lambeth parks to reopen on Monday 29 March. All bookings for customers will fully commence from Tuesday 30 March. Whether you love to compete in matches or you’re practicing your serve, outdoor tennis is a great sport to have fun, get fit and improve skills like precision. Our outdoor tennis courts are perfect for rallying with friends or organising games. All tennis courts can be booked online via the BETTER website or the BETTER app.
Outdoor Exercise Classes
BETTER are launching a new weekly programme of outdoor exercise classes at Ferndale Community Sports Centre (Brixton) and Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre. All classes will be delivered outdoors and socially distanced following BETTER’s Covid-secure safety measures. Outdoor exercise has so many benefits to the local community, especially if the sun is shining. Alongside the fresh air and getting oxygen into your lungs, the sun’s rays on your skin will boost your vitamin D levels and lift your mood. They also bring the joy of working out with others, which can increase your motivation and improve your performance.
