As covered in yesterday's post, the tennis courts in Lundin Links were opened in 1905, after a few years of discussion and planning. The above image shows that there were four main courts plus two further courts closer to Leven Road allocated to children. The bowling green adjoins both sets of courts. The back garden entrances of the Ravenswood and Elmwood boarding houses (in the foreground of the above picture) show how convenient the sports facilities must have been for many visitors.
Later, a putting green was added on the other side of the children's courts (see postcard below). Today neither the children's courts nor the putting green exists. In their place is the bowling green car park and some open grass. However, a play park has for many decades been situated to the south side of the former putting green. The football pitch also remains today, so this area is still very much a leisure hub for the village. If you have memories of using these facilities, please add a comment to share it.
