This is the kind of spot you want to share only with your good friends. The courts have lights, tight nets, blue playing surfaces free of cracks and ragweed, and plenty of free parking.

I had the opportunity to visit the tennis center for the DC Open, and I had an amazing time! This…read morewas my first time visiting the center, and I was really impressed with the space. The tennis center has a variety of courts, including the main courts and several smaller courts, which I thought made it a great location to host the DC Open. The facility is very spacious, and there are plenty of bathrooms available throughout the center, which was definitely convenient with such a large crowd. The only downside for me was the parking situation during the event. Parking wasn't the easiest to navigate, but I'm assuming that on a regular day when there isn't a major event happening, parking is much easier and accessing the courts is more convenient. Overall, I thought this was a great venue for the DC Open, and I enjoyed my experience visiting the tennis center!

There were several children from tennis camps in attendance and they actively engaged them and imparted encouraging words. I had a great time.

I had a great time at the DC Citi Open and highly recommend it. On-site parking is available.

The wifi is strong and I never have issues surfing the web or reading a Kindle book. There is an ice rink right around the corner. As well as a basketball court, a baseball field, and soccer field.

Its playground became the first racially integrated playgrounds in the city. The tennis courts are the home courts of tennis legends the Peters sisters. Signs throughout the park explain its history. The park itself has two playgrounds, tennis courts, restrooms, picnic tables and a trail that hugs the creek. Because of its location, it's a popular park for all people- families, runners, nature lovers. If you're hungry while at Rose Park, walk to nearby Stachowski's Market for a pastrami sandwich on rye bread that's two meals.

The park is in a pretty safe area surround by homes. It has lots of amenities. Among these are the baseball field, basketball courts, and tennis courts. Tennis is the most popular here of these.

The last time however it seems they have been cleaned up since this. It has a trail along Rock Creek. It's popular with dog walkers and joggers. Watch so you don't step in waste.

I've heard other times it is quite busy at Banneker, so I've never tried to come. The courts are a ten minute walk from the U St. Metro.

The courts are well maintained, seems like it was recently resurfaced. The nets are a little bit worn out and ripped on some courts. There's a tennis wall for those folks playing alone and trying to improve a stroke. The only problem I have is daaaa weeeeeeed (Stephen A reference, lol). I've been to these courts and the side I go on always tends to have one or several people smoking weed. It's tough to play a competitive match while you feel like you're getting high from the cloud of smoke. Aside from the weed, I'd recommend these courts for tennis and there's also a lot of enthusiasts that I'm sure would be interested in connecting for a game. -ODL Follow my IG: @AOEAT

Personally, I use these courts to play football. Any tennis court with night lights is a blessing--whether it's roller hockey, football, or even tennis, the fenced-in surface and the bright lights create a safe playing haven in the city. It's too bad more people don't play tennis--it is the easiest of games and there are courts everywhere in this city.

I love that my kids can just walk up to the neighborhood court by themselves and get a private lesson. (We just paid $10 more per lesson to add a child.) Classes would have been cheaper, but I couldn't find any near us at convenient times. Now we get to schedule our lesson when we are free (although we have been sticking with a pretty regular time of Sunday mornings). Private lessons are definitely more expensive than classes, but I've heard that instructors can run $50-100 per hour, so we feel that we are getting a pretty good deal. My kids really look forward to their lesson, and were sad at the thought of suspending lessons during winter. Their instructor, Jen, is very kind, patient, and thorough with working on all the different strokes and skills. This program has been a great solution for us because of the convenience and flexibility, as well as the low-key nature and special attention of private lessons.

At the Y, there are six pickleball courts, striped over three tennis courts. Court surface is great compared to other courts in the Arlington area. There are times/options for all level of play and many sessions are marked for specific levels of play so you know what you're signing up for. It does occasionally struggle with HVAC issues but they address it as much as they can, considering the age of the facility. But they are planning a renovation/new facility, so that's great. And consistent with many pickleball communities, the Y's efforts - drop-ins, tournaments, WhatsApp groups, etc. - have fostered a great community.

STILL THE BEST SOCIAL DECISION I MADE SINCE MOVING TO DC. Really is 50% kickball and 50% happy hour...very few people from DC, so this is an excellent way to meet some new life long friends. I love looking up at the Washington Monument on a Thursday evening as the sun is going down from first base thinking "I wonder what all my friends are doing back home right now?" Whether you already have a team of players, a group of 3-9 friends you want to play with, or just joining by yourself, their awesome staff will take care of you and get you all set up during registration.

I'm going to go ahead and say it, there were dudes on other teams that just made it so unpleasant to be on field. I think we get into this hoping it will not be like our kickball experiences in middle school, and usually during every game, there was a moment where I felt like "really? I thought we were adults." DC Kickball, unlike some other city teams, does not hire refs, which I think is fine. Refs are volunteers from teams that are not playing. What upset me the most was that dudes from some of the teams argued every call, not letting it go, ganging up on the volunteer refs. I certainly won't be playing next season.
