Lower Woodland Tennis Courts

Lower Woodland Tennis Courts serve as a central gathering point for Seattle's tennis community, situated directly adjacent to Green Lake. The complex features 10 outdoor hard courts equipped with push-button lighting for evening play. Maintained by Seattle Parks and Recreation, the courts are heavily used for everything from casual recreational doubles to local USTA league matches and high school competitions. The asphalt playing surface delivers a consistent, true bounce, though breezes off the nearby lake can occasionally influence play. During peak summer evenings, court demand runs high. Players can reserve slots ahead of time via the Seattle Parks and Recreation online reservation portal, while unreserved courts operate on a straightforward 60-minute rotation rule when other players are waiting. Spectator benches line the perimeter, creating a relaxed, neighborhood park environment where local players regularly connect for pickup sets.
