6 of the best tennis courts in Vancouver to play at this summer

Want to be the next Serena Williams? Vancouver has no shortage of tennis courts if you want to work on your serve and dream of becoming the next tennis legend.

Stanley Park

To no tennis enthusiast’s surprise, Stanley Park is the first location worth mentioning because of its wide variety of options.

Eleven courts are located near the Beach Avenue entrance to Stanley Park on a first-come, first-serve basis.

However, like all city courts, you will have to keep your game to a 30-minute limit.

Most of the year these courts are free, but during the summer season (late April to early September), six courts at the Beach Avenue entrance to Stanley Park are operated as pay courts.

More free courts are near Lost Lagoon along Lagoon Drive at Robson Street.
