Culver Close is a large and flat green space close to the town centre. Culver Close is home to Bradford on Avon Cricket Club and one of the town’s bowls clubs – and is used by the town’s junior football clubs outside of the cricket season.
There are 3 community tennis courts here – and cricket nets managed and looked after by the cricket club.
The recreational ground is a wonderful green space in the town on the edge of Frome Road, close to both Barton Farm Country Park and Victory Field.
Tennis courts
In 2024 we worked with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to improve the tennis courts at Culver Close. This happened as part of the LTA’s Park Tennis Project, a nationwide project investing in public tennis courts.
The work included:
- resurfacing and remarking
- installing new nets
- fitting a new access gate.
Unlike before, you’ll need to book the tennis courts to play. There is also a charge to use the courts. You’ll be able to sign up for either an annual membership (£40 per household) or pay as you play (£6 per hour). The money from these charges goes toward the future maintenance of the tennis courts.
There’s a dedicated website which handles this for us. You can book a court or an annual membership on our ClubSpark website.
