Dealing With Overgrowth of Weed — Ed. 2

The weed is particularly persistent and heavy at the end of the court. This time we chose to dig deep to fight it. Next spring we'll see how successful we have been.

Dealing With Overgrowth of Weed — Ed. 1

Weed is a persistent invader — particularly on the sides of the court. After many various attempts, we finally landed on the "ultimate" solution: paving stone. The other sides had already been covered with stones, and now it was time for the side of the apple garden.

Volunteers: Reidar Lie (as always), new passionate player Henrik Pay with family, Eskil Dahl Marstein, Leo Oppegaard, Lina Liu, and Harald Halstensen with son Victor.

Expanding the Court

Many volunteers showed up to help expand the court by removing dirt and stones from the side — hard physical work that significantly improved the playing area.

Much More Sand

Asker Tennisklubb upgraded their courts and we received two courts' worth of sand — for free. It was a huge job to disperse the sand evenly across the court surface.

Restore of the Court

The court was previously used for dog agility training by "Asker Hundeklubb" (approx. 2005–2014) and was covered with small stones, much grass, and old leaves. The restoration was the foundation that made everything possible.

From Asker Hundeklubb to tennis: The court's history took a decisive turn when Christian Oppegaard — with the kind permission of farm owner Michael Rustad — initiated the revival that led to the founding of Konglungen Tennisklubb on 22 September 2015.

The Tennis Box Arrives

The iconic green tennis equipment box was pushed up to the court — the club's first piece of permanent infrastructure, and a symbol of a proper tennis club coming to life.
