About

A small, well-loved park court tucked next to the old Queen Anne observatory and water tower, right by a neighborhood firehouse. Drop-in play is free and easygoing here, and the courts do double duty with local pickleball players. It's a quiet, scenic corner of Queen Anne worth a stop if you're exploring the area.

Courts & conditions

Two outdoor concrete courts, fenced in to keep balls in play. The same courts host pickleball too, with players raising or lowering the tennis nets between games.

Good to know

Play is free for walk-in/drop-in use. Courts can also be reserved through Amy Yee Tennis Center for $16/hour (one-hour minimum) — book online via ActiveNet, by phone, or in person. Drinking fountains are on site.
