Vancouver Tennis
Bring your racket along for the trip. Have a match on any of the 180 free public courts in the city. The outdoor courts are open all year and are run on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a 30-minute maximum time limit if someone is waiting to play. Stanley Park offers 15 free courts and six that are available for an hourly rental fee. Queen Elizabeth Park has 17 free courts and is located at 33rd & Cambie. At Kitsilano Beach Park, there are 10 free courts for the public use. In mid-summer, the nearby pool and beach offer cool havens after a few tough sets.
If you are looking to play during the winter season, you can play at UBC (University of British Columbia) Tennis Centre.
