Guided tours of the proposed AELTC public parkland

Since the beginning of 2023, we have been running regular guided tours on the southern parkland of the former Wimbledon Park Golf Course, welcoming over 1,500 visitors across more than 100 tours. Following The Championships 2025, we are pleased to welcome the return of our guided tours with dates confirmed up until April 2026.

Each tour runs for approximately 75 minutes and is led by one of our Blue Badge Guides, covering the southern section of the former golf course where you get to learn about the history of the landscape, the proposals for the golf course and how we are increasing the biodiversity net gain on the site and looking after nature and wildlife. There is also the chance to see project boards, talk to AELTC colleagues about the scheme and get a hot drink before you set off on the tour.

Please note that the terrain is undulating and can be wet and muddy depending on weather and therefore, is not best suited for buggies or wheelchairs.
