About us

The Meadows City Tennis Club is a friendly and relaxed members’ club based at the Meadows public courts, offering social and competitive tennis for adults and juniors. The club is LTA-registered and was established in 2003 as part of the LTA’s City Tennis Club scheme.

Club History

Meadows City Tennis Club was established in 2003 as part of the LTA’s City Tennis Club scheme, which sought to promote club tennis being played on public courts. The club has been going strong ever since! Membership numbers have increased steadily over the years, as has the range of tennis and social activities that we offer.

In 2014, flood-lighting was installed on six courts and the Meadows tennis pavilion/cafe was refurbished. This has proved of huge benefit to the club in terms of what we can offer and others who use the courts. Thanks are due to the LTA, SportScotland and Edinburgh Leisure for their investment in the facility.

We have a very international membership profile and reckon if we plotted the nationalities of our members over the years we would cover a lot of the globe!
