Beard's Plaisance Tennis Court

Situated steps from Lake Harriet along the Minneapolis-Edina border, Beard's Plaisance Tennis Court provides an accessible outdoor setting for neighborhood tennis players. The facility features standard outdoor hard courts set against a backdrop of mature trees, offering natural wind screening and a quiet community atmosphere. It serves local residents looking for recreational rallies, casual sets, and routine drills without the formalities of private club memberships. Maintained in coordination with the regional park system, the courts operate primarily on a first-come, first-served neighborhood schedule, though formal court permits can be arranged through the park board for organized events. Its direct integration with park grounds and neighborhood sidewalks makes it an easy destination for players who appreciate no-frills, open-air tennis within walking distance of the lake.
