Sports pitches and courts
Sports pitches and courts
From 1 April 2024 the cost of hiring our sports pitches and courts is increasing. We're also changing the discount on block bookings. If you're booking for a school, association, charity or club, or an organisation representing affiliated clubs, you will get to a 10% discount on bookings of 10 or more sessions of the same activity. We will also be updating our terms and conditions.
We have over 45 pitches and courts available for hire at competitive prices.
To enquire about our pitch facilities, or to check availability, please email parks@guildford.gov.uk.
We aim to respond within five working days.
For assistance out of office hours between the hours of 7am and 8pm contact our Ranger team on 07880 784947. Our Ranger team are unable to take bookings or collect cash.
