Wrea Green Tennis Club is a private club, situated in Mill Lane and is open to tennis players from both the village and beyond; it currently has approximately 150 members. The club was founded in 1956 on a piece of land donated by the Birley family who at that time lived at The Villa, Wrea Green. Originally consisting of one hard tennis court and a pavilion-style clubhouse, the club has gone from strength to strength over the years and now is lucky enough to have three all-weather tennis courts and a pavilion, opened in 1999, which was built with the help of money from the National Lottery.

Adult Tennis

The Club enters teams in the local Fylde League (2 men’s teams and 3 ladies’ teams) and also two mixed teams in the Ribble Tennis League. Adult social tennis is played on Sunday and Wednesday mornings and, during the summer, on Monday nights.
