JohnMore than £650,000 could be spent on an upgrade of tennis courts around the city, according to a council report.
Leeds City Council aims to sign a grant agreement with the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) to carry out the project on a total of 42 courts in eight parks.
If it goes ahead, the biggest share would go to Roundhay Park, where £140,000 would be spent refurbishing 16 courts this summer.
Courts at Harehills and Grove Road Recreation Ground in Temple Newsam are also included in the funding.
Improvements include resurfacing and re-colouring of courts, new fencing and new nets.
The council report said: “It will improve park tennis courts which are available for people of all ages and abilities to use for free throughout the year.
“Evidence shows that better quality facilities are more popular and so more people will benefit from them in future as a result of the investment.”.
