Squash
Squash is a lightning-fast racket sport which gets faster as the ball warms up.

Squash will challenge your speed, agility and stamina, giving you an individual workout while competing against someone else.
The perfect stress-reliever, squash is a social and fun way to get really fit.
At Dovedale we have three squash courts available to hire, all with excellent viewing facilities. Changing facilities are located close to the courts.
Court bookings last for 40 minutes.
