A free tennis event in Dundee at the weekend could unearth a future Scottish champion, a councillor hopes.
Dawson Park will be one of four Scottish venues in the Great British Tennis Weekend, at which people are being invited to play on open courts.
Organised by the Lawn Tennis Association the event is a chance for people to get involved in the sport from 10am-2pm on Saturday and Sunday. There is no need to book and equipment will be provided free of charge.
Broughty Ferry councillor Kevin Cordell said: “I am really pleased to see that Dawson Park will be one of only four parks in Scotland involved in this exciting initiative.
“I think everyone is agreed that watching Andy Murray during the summer was inspirational and his success is a just reward for his hard work and industry over the years.”
It was recently announced that Dundee City Council is serving up its first investment of a £40,000 tennis action plan to which Mr Cordell said Dawson Park is integral. Cardio tennis sessions are also on offer at the weekend.
Cardio tennis is a group fitness class set on the court and open to all people of all ages and abilities. For more information about the activities on offer visit www.allplaytennis.com.
