Ocean View Park Tennis

Set directly beside the Pacific shoreline on Barnard Way, Ocean View Park Tennis offers one of the most scenic public playing experiences in Southern California. The facility features six outdoor hard courts, surfaced and maintained through the City of Santa Monica. Coastal cross-breezes add an authentic outdoor element to rallies, while the proximity to the beach creates a distinct setting for early morning drills and twilight sets. The venue draws a steady mix of dedicated Westside locals, casual hitters, and organized doubles groups from Santa Monica and neighboring Venice. Because of its beachfront location, court traffic remains active throughout the day, extending well into the evening under the lights. Court access is managed through the municipal reservation system, which balances pre-booked time slots with walk-up availability on open courts. Players gather here for well-kept surfaces, brisk sea air, and an energetic, unpretentious tennis environment.
