Tarka is a 12 court tennis facility, 6 indoor & 6 outdoors. The indoor courts are split into two halfs, with three courts in each section.
Watching tennis at Tarka couldn't be easier. Indoors their is a balcony running through the two halls & also large viewing windows in the lounge area allowing spectators to watch while relaxing in the lounge. Outside the 6 courts are split in two sections of three, again with viewing areas all around them with bench seating.
The lounge area is large & is split up into three sections allowing for plenty of space. The far section is a games area with pool, table football & table tennis. There will also be a Cyber Cafe which will be installed soon.
There are two televisions set up high so you can listen to music or the sports action. The reception area is linked to the bar where you can purchase hot & cold drinks. Rackets & balls can also be purchased from here. Near the reception there are some vending machines for drinks or snacks.
Down by the courts are toilets & changing rooms with information boards running alongside. There is a disabled lift up onto the balcony area.
