Pro Tips

  2. 2.Bring sun protection (hats, sunscreen, water bottles) as courts can be exposed to strong Australian sun, particularly during summer months.
  3. 3.Arrive 10-15 minutes early for first-time visits to allow time for court orientation and racquet hire if needed.
  4. 4.Weekday morning sessions tend to be quieter than evenings and weekends, ideal for kids who are easily overwhelmed by crowds.
  5. 5.Check with Netsports about racquet and equipment hire for international visitors so you don't need to pack bulky gear in your luggage.

Best Time to Visit

Early morning or late afternoon sessions work best, especially during the warmer months (October to March) to avoid the midday heat. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends for casual play.

What to Know

Very affordable pricing makes this an economical family activity. Street parking is available on Union Street and surrounding areas. No on-site cafe, so bring water and snacks, especially for longer coaching sessions.

Seasonal Notes

Operates year-round with consistent hours. Australian summer (December to February) can be very hot, so morning sessions are recommended. School holiday programs often run during January and April, offering intensive coaching camps for visiting families.

Nearby Eats
