Tennis Court

Set alongside Byrd Park on Blanton Avenue, these public courts serve as a dependable home base for Richmond’s tennis community. The site features multiple outdoor hard courts with regulation acrylic surfaces and overhead lighting, extending court time well into the evening. The atmosphere is energetic and unpretentious, drawing steady rotations of local singles and doubles players, recreational mixers, and structured drills throughout the week. Maintained through Richmond Parks and Recreation, the courts are open for public walk-on play and seasonal league matches. Perimeter fencing separates courts to contain stray balls, while bench seating lines the perimeter for players rotating off court. Whether matching up for an early-morning baseline workout or meeting friends for an evening doubles set under the lights, players benefit from consistent court maintenance, solid ball bounce, and direct proximity to the Carillon and Fountain Lake.
