Will Prague get the land of the tennis courts in Letná? There is little left
It is only a step away from acquiring land on which part of the tennis courts in Letná stands. The Capital City Council approved the intention to acquire land from the Office for Representation of the State in Property Matters for a fee at a price of 78,330,000 crowns. The purchase was also approved by the Prague City Council.

The capital already owns and leases part of the Letna tennis courts on its LTC Praha club. Now he is also interested in acquiring the remaining land. The city intends to ensure the revitalization of the entire site, including the reconstruction of the listed building of the former clubhouses.

It is a unique building from 1926 by the architect Bohumír Kozák, representing the architecture of purpose-built temporary buildings of its time, including a specific handicraft detail, of which not much has been preserved in Prague.
Prague has big plans with Letná
The purchase of land, which is currently owned by the state, would unify the ownership of the entire wider locality of Letenské sady, which is reduced throughout Prague, and is also located in a protected area. Prague is also planning other investment activities in Letná – such as the construction of an irrigation system and a water reservoir.

“The LTC complex was divided into two parts for many years, which was definitely not to the benefit of the development of the complex as a whole. I am glad that I managed to reach an agreement with the Office for Representation of the State in Property Matters after lengthy negotiations. If it did not happen, the sale of property in the form of an auction would certainly follow, when in the case of acquiring the area by a private person there would be a risk of changing the use of the central part of Letna Park, which for me would certainly serve as a resting place in the central part of Prague. The city will be interested in the fact that the land will continue to be used for sports use and sensitive reconstruction will return life to the clubhouse building, “said Jan Chabr, councilor for property (United Forces for Prague / TOP 09).

LTC PRAHA Sports Association (Lawn Tennis Club Prague) is one of the oldest and most famous tennis clubs in the Czech lands. It was founded by students of the Faculty of Law of Charles University in 1904. Its members included important personalities of political, social and sports life, such as Jan and Olga Masaryk, Karel Schwarzenberg, Jiří Stanislav Guth-Jarkovský, Jaroslav Heyrovský, Otto Wichterle, Nataša Gollová, Adina Mandlová or Václav and Miloš Havel. Although the name reveals that it was a tennis club, the most famous was the hockey club, which is the third most successful Czech club in history with eleven championship titles. It disappeared in 1964 by merging with Prague’s Slavia.
