The FORTE tennis center is a new sports facility, specializing in tennis, which opened in October 2005. There are indoor and outdoor tennis courts, a playground and a main operations building located on the grounds. In addition to the indoor tennis court building, the 3,600-square meter property has a single standard-dimension outdoor court and two children’s playgrounds with a concrete practice wall available for use. The outdoor playground has an artificial grass surface with silicon sand filling.

The modern indoor tennis court building measures 37.0 x 36.6 meters and has two standard-dimension courts. The building is arched with the height at the center measuring 10 meters. The building has intensive lighting, gas infrared heating and high-productivity heated-air ventilation, creating a comfortable atmosphere for sporting activities. The court surface is artificial Tennis Champion Neu carpeting, whose rubber granulates come closest to the clay surface outdoor courts that are particularly appropriate for recreational athletes. The indoor court building has no viewing stands, though viewers can watch the action from the second-floor balcony of the main building.

The main building has locker rooms and modern always-warm showers. There is also a fitness room located inside, well-furnished for exercising and bodybuilding, as well as Life Fitness brand running trainers, stationary bicycles, cyclo-ergometers and treadmills. The exercise area is air conditioned and heated-air ventilated. There is a clubroom on the second floor of the main building, available in particular during tournaments.

Immediately upon entering the building, you are welcomed by an enjoyable bar atmosphere where the general public, players and accompanying people can spend some pleasant moments. It offers coffee, tea, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, sweets and salted pastries. The bar area is air-conditioned and heated-air ventilated.
