Branksome Tennis Club have long been providing the people of Poole with a place to hone their tennis skills.

Now called Branksome Park Tennis, the club caters for all ages and skill levels on five newly surfaced courts and two floodlit courts.

On June 13, 2000, a group of tots from Bibury Day Nursery took to those courts to pick up a racket for the first time and try their hand at tennis.

The venue were voted the Best Community Tennis Club in Dorset by the Dorset County Lawn Tennis Association

Their café proves popular among members and guests.
