The variety of tennis offered at parks in Crawley has won a Tennis Sussex award in the Parks Venue category.
Judges were impressed by the upgraded facilities offered on nine courts at three venues across the town which were previously underutilised. Free weekly sessions are offered for people aged 16 and over with a learning disability, and there are plans for a programme for people with a mental health diagnosis.
In 2023 more than 100 people took part in Tennis for Free sessions in Crawley, and there were more than 800 pay and play bookings last year.
Crawley Parks Tennis now moves forward to judging for the regional award and then potentially a national award.

Mr Awin was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in 2015 and had the pacemaker fitted 5 years later. He is the first person with a pacemaker to attempt the challenge.
Mr Awin has raised more than £150,000 for the British Heart Foundation. He has also set up his own charity called Wave Wrangler to support those living with arrhythmia.
