Tennis

Tennis remains a tried-and-true racquet sport that has, for years, engaged players both physically and mentally.

The City of Menlo Park's tennis courts are available to the public at no cost for drop-in play on a first-come, first-served basis. Reservations are available in limited numbers and at select court locations to ensure space for both drop-in and reservation-based community use. Whenever possible, at least 50% of each court site will remain accessible to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. The City reserves the right to reserve additional courts when needed for activities such as city programs, tournaments, summer camps, and other uses.
