Pro Tips

  1. 1.Bring your own equipment - public courts typically don't provide racquets or balls, so pack age-appropriate gear for your kids
  2. 2.Visit during weekday mornings or early afternoons for the best chance of having courts available without waiting
  3. 3.Consider starting kids with pickleball rather than tennis - the smaller court, lower net, and lighter paddle make it easier for beginners to experience success
  4. 4.Pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and snacks since there are no on-site concessions at public courts
  5. 5.Check court conditions after rain - call ahead or drive by to ensure courts are dry and playable

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings between 9:00 AM and noon offer the quietest times with the most court availability. Early mornings also provide cooler temperatures during summer months, making it more comfortable for kids to stay active outdoors.

What to Know

These are free public courts open to all residents on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking is available on-site, and you'll need to bring all your own equipment including racquets, balls, and water.

Seasonal Notes

Courts are open year-round but are most enjoyable from late spring through early fall. Winter play is possible on dry days, though courts may be closed during snow or icy conditions. Summer evenings offer extended playtime with daylight lasting until the 9 PM closing time.

Nearby Eats

Grab post-game pizza at Marco's Pizza or Geraci's Restaurant & Pub, both family-friendly options within a short drive where kids can refuel after working up an appetite on the courts.
