Sports and leisure in Luton

Man playing tennis indoors

Sport is well catered for in Luton. We have a dedicated athletics arena, a selection of swimming pools, purpose-built leisure centres, excellent golf courses, and much more.

Bedfordshire County Tennis Centre

The Centre boasts six superb outdoor all-weather courts and two indoor courts. The outdoor surface is sand-filled carpet, which is ideal for a medium-paced game and lends itself favourably to coaching. The indoor surface is cushioned acrylic and is geared for a faster bounce.
