City of Fort Lauderdale Parks & Recreation

The City of Fort Lauderdale Parks & Recreation manages one of Florida's most active public tennis networks, anchored by municipal hubs like the historic Jimmy Evert Tennis Center at Holiday Park. The department oversees dozens of outdoor tennis courts—both Har-Tru green clay and regulation hard surfaces—designed for competitive tournament play and community recreation. Players can engage in open play, organized ladder leagues, and structured youth or adult training programs that reflect South Florida's rich tennis heritage. The courts maintain consistent daily grooming, reliable LED lighting for evening sets, and a welcoming public park environment. Booking court time is managed seamlessly through the city's online recreation reservation portal or on-site front desks, giving residents and visitors straightforward access to quality municipal courts without private club initiation fees.
