久宝寺緑地テニスコート

大浜だいしんテニスコート
A city-run outdoor tennis facility in Sakai's Ohama Park, popular with locals for its convenient parking and reasonably priced courts. With four artificial-turf courts and night lighting, it works well for both daytime and evening play.

住吉公園テニスコート
A public park tennis facility in Osaka's Suminoe ward, tucked inside Sumiyoshi Park alongside baseball and multipurpose grounds. Simple and unpretentious, it's a good pick for casual local play rather than a polished club experience.
河内庭球倶楽部
A long-running tennis club in Sakai, Osaka, offering both a hard court and a sand-filled artificial-grass court for members and visitors alike. On-site coaching draws players from enjoy-level to serious competitors, and the club also runs a pickleball circle for those who want to try something new.
羽曳野市立茶山テニスコート
