Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre
A first class Hockey and Tennis hub meeting the needs of both the community and athletes.
Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre will become two separate venues after the Games, owned, funded and managed by Lee Valley Regional Park Authority
With a history of sporting activity dating back over a century, the Hockey and Tennis Centres built in legacy will continue this tradition long after the London 2012 Games.
A unique mix of sporting venues
Lee Valley Hockey and Tennis Centre will comprise a Hockey Centre, and a Tennis Centre with four indoor and six outdoor tennis courts. Five-a-side football pitches will be developed after the Games. With two pitches, the Hockey Centre will become England Hockey’s national events venue and regional performance centre and home to England and GB hockey fixtures. Five hockey clubs have also registered an interest in relocating to the centre and it now host the 2016 European Hockey Championships.
Over at the Tennis Centre, the courts will be used as a wheelchair tennis performance centre and for regional tennis development programmes.
