Grant Park Tennis Courts

Grant Park Tennis Courts provides accessible outdoor tennis against the backdrop of the Chicago skyline. Maintained by the Chicago Park District, this municipal site features six regulation hard courts frequented by South Loop residents, downtown commuters, and local recreational players. The acrylic-topped asphalt surface provides a medium-fast pace, subject to the natural lakefront breeze coming off Lake Michigan. Players coordinate matches through the Chicago Park District online reservation system during peak season, while open walk-on play is permitted during designated non-reserved hours. The courts maintain an active, unpretentious atmosphere where casual rallies, competitive singles, and after-work doubles games rotate smoothly through the rotation system. Floodlights illuminate the venue during evenings until park closure, making it a reliable training spot throughout the spring, summer, and early autumn months.
