Court Security
Remember to lock the court padlock securely on the gate latch when you leave, to prevent unauthorised access and potential vandalism. If anyone else is playing when you leave, please check that they have a key to lock-up.
The gate latch must be pushed all the way to the left before the padlock is attached; if this is not done, the gate will not be secure and may be breached.
