Playing Policy for Neighborhood Park Tennis Courts

Playing time is limited to one hour if others are waiting. If no one is waiting for the court, play may continue. The Tennis Courts are for tennis players only, so no skateboards, roller-blades, bikes, etc. These items or activities destroy the surface of the courts. Individuals cannot give lessons for profit on tennis courts. These courts may not be reserved except for City of Austin sponsored programs.
