Friary Park is a bit of a formal affair with the only formal sport being bowls. The only other sport to be had here are the free Tennis Courts.
The tennis courts are what I would call average for the area; not great, but not falling apart either. The surface of the two courts is very similar, with the far court suffering from the problem of overhanging trees. This is only a problem after it has rained, so for most of the time the surface is good. The nets are in a good condition and well-maintained and the lines of the court are clearly visible.
These courts can be popular however, and with only 2 courts in the entire park, it can get a bit silly on occasion. I had to wait over an hour for a court once, and I have spotted an argument over the courts a couple of times.
Tennis is a popular family sport in the area, and it seems a bit silly that there are only 2 courts for a park of this size and popularity. The fencing isn’t great either, but it does the job.
On the basis of great, but not great surfaces, I’m giving it 3 stars. But on the plus-side, I’d give it 3.5 if the system would let me.
