The tennis court has existed in Dinas for at least 80 years. I don’t know how it came to be there and would be very interested to hear from anyone who knows.

In spite of the evidence in this old photo, I can assure you that the ground has no obvious tilt and the side netting, tarmac surface, tennis net and specially designed bench are all still well looked after and fantastic value at £2.50 an hour.

If you have read the Sports page on this site you’ll know how proud I am that donations and volunteers from Dinas have managed to maintain this court over so many years.
