Kensington Tennis Courts

Kensington Tennis Courts offers local players in East Arlington dedicated outdoor hard courts for practice sets, recreational rallies, and neighborhood singles or doubles play. Situated along Kensington Gardens Boulevard, the facility caters to Jacksonville tennis enthusiasts seeking an unpretentious, accessible place to hit. The acrylic-topped asphalt surface provides a consistent medium-pace bounce suitable for baseline grinders and serve-and-volleyers alike, while full perimeter fencing keeps stray balls contained. The courts primarily operate on a walk-up, first-come, first-served basis for neighborhood residents and visiting players, making it straightforward to organize a pickup match or run drills with a hitting partner. Trees surrounding the court perimeter provide partial shade during early morning and late afternoon sessions, helping manage the Florida heat. It remains a reliable open-air venue anchored in the local community.
