Leckhampton Facilities

Squash court

The squash court is located in the same building as the gym, past the Leckhampton Car Park behind the Kho Building (the new building straight ahead of you as you walk down Leckhampton Drive).

The squash court is highly popular, so to ensure it's free when you want to play you should book a court online using the JCR's squash court booking system. Please try to keep the court as safe as possible by only wearing suitable (clean!) footwear. There are a few spare rackets and a couple balls by the court - do look after them.

Tennis courts in general

Rackets & balls are normally kept next to the squash court. There are 3 grass courts and 2 hard courts; the Grass Courts are open in Easter Term.

The grass courts are on the other side of the hedge directly next to the hard courts: no key required! The booking system is here but note that there is more than one, so even if the court is listed as booked, there may be some availability.

Hard tennis courts #1

The Corpus Tennis courts are located in the corner of Leckhampton pitches. Entering from Cranmer road they are in the far right corner behind the Basketball and Netball Courts. Please BRING AN A20 to get in. Enjoy the facilities but please leave them in the same state you find them! Use this link to make a booking.

Hard Tennis Courts #2

Make a booking.

Croquet

No booking is required - the croquet set is located in a case under the Leckhampton House patio and is available for use in the Leckhampton Gardens during the summer; just turn up and use it as and when you want to. Please remember to to return all the balls and mallets to the case once you’re done.

Cricket Net

There is one cricket net at Leckhampton, with an artificial grass pitching area. There are also stumps and bails in the Leckhampton Pavailion (please return after use). There is currently no JCR Booking system for this, and it is used by external organisations by arrangement with the Head Groundkeeper. While it is not booked, it is free to use, but please exercise caution and only use hard balls if you have sufficient experience and are wearing protective equipment.

Gym

The gym welcomes all students for use at any time of day. It is, however, unsupervised, so use is at your own risk and thus bringing a friend along is always a sensible idea, especially if you plan to use weights.
