Rancho Cienega Tennis Center

One of my favorite courts to go to. Just not on SOME saturdays when they hold tournaments on most of the courts. Other than that, it's pretty public, you just wait for an open court and jump in. Just be sure to be courteous, and be sure no one else is waiting for that court too. The courts nearest the street are almost always filled with members that play there everyday. Don't expect to just walk in on those courts too often. The rear courts nearest the basketball courts are usually anyones game (unless it's a tournament). The people there are usually very nice. The ones playing on the courts nearest the shop, usually are the ones that work in the shop, and they are quite often teaching a class (you'll see the big basket of balls). They are friendly, so if you need something, you can ask and they will usually get to it asap. They rent ball machines, racquets, string racquets, ect. The play area is directly next to the tennis courts, so if you have children then can play while you play. (the play area isn't lit at night so be careful about timing with the kids). All in all, it's a good place to go to be inspired by all the people playing so hard around you. It's very easy to make tennis friends here. Just have a backup plan if you MUST go on a saturday, just in case you can't get a court. If you stay and watch though, you might have just as much fun.
