Boston Common Tennis Court

The courts are in great condition, and it’s an amazing space that should be enjoyed, along with the park’s peaceful atmosphere.

It appears these are in fact semi private courts. You need to reserve the 2 tennis courts in advance. We happened to go to play pickleball and there were 3 courts (temporary nets set up on the tennis court) of college students playing. They reserved the courts and were nice enough to let us join in on their games. The courts also were in need of repair with some large cracks in the cement.

I am a beginner player. I love the courts, and they have great nets. While these courts are nice, as a beginner player, I am not treated well. I am understanding of reservations, but it is extremely difficult to reserve a court. Players rudely take advantage of reserving time slots. People are very dishonest about their reservations. This reservation idea is great, but it is constructed in such a horrible way. Local play has a huge amount of bugs, and it is really hard for beginner players, and players that just want to go for fun to play at these courts. For a community court, I should feel like I can go and have ample amount of time to play. I should not feel like someone else is hovering over me for their spot on the court. I would love it if the app was easier, and time reservations were controlled.

There are two hard courts in the middle of Boston common. All drawn with pickle ball lines. No lights available. Courts and nets look well maintained. My group visited the park for a picnic with the idea of playing a bit of tennis and pickle balls. But was quickly asked to empty the court for reservations. Highly recommend playing there with a reservation.

The best part about this court is its location, because if you forgot to bring a ball there’s usually a dog being walked in Boston Common that you can steal a tennis ball from. Better luck next time buddy, I’ve got a championship to win. Anyway, it’s easy to make reservations online here and the court is clean so I recommend
