Tipton Sports Academy

It includes a running track, a football pitch and indoor tennis courts.

This work was completed at the same time as the indoor tennis courts, and the full cost of upgrading the complex (more than £3million) was paid by the National Lottery.

It was opened by the then Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott at an official ceremony on 12 June 1998.

Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had opened the headquarters of Tipton Sports Union Trust at the site on 4 June 1971.

These facilities were replaced by those opened by John Prescott, 27 years later.
