There are two additional lighted courts located in Bicentennial Park under the water tower.  These courts are available on a first come, first serve basis for one hour of play. The tennis center reserves the right to use these courts Monday-Friday from 8 am – 1 pm if necessary to provide additional courts for league play.

Courts 16-18 are open to the general public during the hours the tennis center is not open. These courts will be opened by the tennis center staff at the close of business every day.  Access to these courts is through a gate on the back side of the tennis center.  Courts are on a first come, first serve basis and cannot be reserved in advance.

As a courtesy to other players, these courts may be used for 1 hour when other players are waiting.  The lights will automatically turn off at 11:00 pm when Bicentennial Park closes.

The lights are operated by a push button located on the fence just outside the courts.  A flashing light will turn on when the timer is due to expire.

These courts may remain closed when the tennis center is using them for a major event the following morning or when there is inclement weather and play would be unsafe.  There are no squeegees on these courts due to previous theft of these items.

Ball Machine

The tennis center has a Playmate ball machine that can be rented for $20.00 per hour in addition to court fees.  The minimum amount of time the machine can be rented is one hour. Players must be at least 16 years old to rent the ball machine. A parent/guardian must be on court at all times if junior players are using the ball machine.
