Plans for Andy Murray Legacy Center in Dunblane Scrapped Amidst Rising Costs
In a disappointing turn of events, the ambitious plan to build a £20 million tennis center near Sir Andy Murray’s hometown of Dunblane has been officially abandoned. The project, spearheaded by Judy Murray, was intended to serve as a lasting tribute to the Murray family’s contributions to tennis and provide a state-of-the-art facility for the community. However, mounting costs and persistent planning challenges have rendered the project unviable.
For over a decade, Judy Murray and her team worked tirelessly to bring this vision to life. The Park of Keir project, which was meant to include tennis, padel, and pickleball courts, a six-hole golf course, a four-star hotel, and even a museum and restaurant, faced significant hurdles from the start. Despite securing a £5 million pledge from the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and support from notable figures like Billie Jean King, opposition from local campaigners and issues related to green belt land complicated the project’s progress.
