San Francisco Tennis Courts & Tennis Partners

For a time in my life, I was relocating every 12 months. When I'd land in a new location, three things helped ground me to my new home: finding the closest coffee house, getting a library card, and locating a public tennis court.

Randy Fong has just made step #3 a cinch in San Francisco. His website San Francisco Tennis Courts lists the public courts around the city. John Cervantes, President of City Tennis, contributed his photographic skills -- so each listing is accompanied by a great visual of the court location.

The tennis database has more than 150 courts in 50 locations. You can search and sort by court name or neighborhood. The chart shows the number of courts at each location and whether or not they have lights for night-time play. He has also conveniently linked to maps, including a printable PDF which shows all locations in town.

If you're new to town and need a tennis partner, check in with City Tennis for tips on finding a game or lesson . . . or run your specs through the search engine at Let's Play Tennis for a comparable match up in your neighborhood.
