Alice Marble Tennis Courts

Perched atop Russian Hill within George Sterling Park, Alice Marble Tennis Courts offer one of the most scenic public playing experiences in San Francisco. The facility features four regulation outdoor hard courts maintained by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, with unobstructed sightlines toward Alcatraz and the San Francisco Bay. The venue draws a steady rotation of neighborhood regulars, competitive singles players, and doubles groups. Court access is managed through a combination of advance online reservations via the city portal and designated walk-up times. Hilltop breezes often factor into tactical play, adding a challenging dynamic to long baseline exchanges. With open viewing benches along the perimeter and an active, respectful community of local players, Alice Marble Tennis Courts serve as a central gathering point for urban tennis in northern San Francisco.
