Looking for a good free court downtown and people to play with

Hi there,

I'm new here and new to tennis. I've only played a couple of times but I really want to get into it this summer to try something new. I live downtown (Sherbourne and Esplanade) does anyone have any suggestions on where to play that is cheap or free? Is anyone interested in playing around with a newbie?

Thanks :)

Cool. I think the weekend after Easter i'm going to check out Moss Park because it's the closest to me. Does anyone know anything about this court? Moss park is kind of sketchy overall but I was hoping that I could play there because it's as far as I can tell the only one near me. You are all welcome to join unless you think I should avoid that one.

I took a few courses in that area and it is ok in the morning. It starts to get a little sketchy in the evening. There are courts available at Jimmie Simpson. It is also on Queen! I tried to look for it online but it did not show up bit I guarantee that you will find a tennis court there

Hi Lisa,

I live downtown (near the ACC) and have played on the courts at Queen/Jarvis. The courts are good (free/public); the area is kind of sketchy at night; but good for daytime/evening play. Also; there are some public courts at Lakeshore/Jameson near the Gardiner Expway (not sure if the nets have been put up on those courts yet).

I am also not a pro; but can definitely hold my own end and play some good ralies :).

I can play on the weekend (or in the evenings) after 5:30/6 PM. Please let me know if you'd be interested in hitting. I also have some friends who can join (so we can play mixed doubles as well) :)

Sincerely,

Ashish
