Schmanska Park

Schmanska Park provides accessible outdoor tennis in Burlington's East District neighborhood along Grove Street. Maintained under the Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront department, the park features regulation outdoor hard tennis courts bordered by mature trees and recreational green space. The courts cater to local residents, university students, and visiting tennis players looking for steady hitting sessions, practice sets, or casual weekend rallies. The court layout features standard perimeter chain-link fencing to keep balls within play and distinct court striping suitable for both singles and doubles matchplay. Court access generally operates on a first-come, first-served basis, with community tennis players rotating on an honor system during peak late afternoon and weekend hours. Surrounded by a quiet residential setting and adjacent walking paths, it functions as an unpretentious, reliable venue for focused tennis practice and neighborhood recreational play throughout Vermont's spring, summer, and early autumn seasons.
