About the club
Queen Elizabeth Park on Toton Lane, Stapleford, on the western edge of Nottingham, has three grass tennis courts and four hard courts run by Broxtowe Borough Council. The council lists the site as pay to play, with the courts open from May to September, seven days a week, from 12 noon until 7pm, daylight permitting. For 2026 to 2027 the council charges 5 pounds per person per hour on grass, with reduced rates for state pension age, under 18 and disabled players. Bookings go through the council parks team. Resident tennis clubs can book the courts, so they are sometimes unavailable to the public. Lakeside Lawn Tennis Club, which gives its address as Queen Elizabeth Park, Toton Lane, plays in the Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Burton leagues; a banner on its website marks 40 years from 1977 to 2017. These are among the few council-run grass courts in England open to casual players.
