In fact, it has quite the homey atmosphere, while keeping a well-maintained one as well. Grass for soccer is well mowed and edged, courts are well lined with functional nets. It's not new and shiny but it is maintained with care. The after school tennis class instruction is led by mostly high school tennis team players, along with Liz, who seems to be the adult in charge. Obviously, Courtney is around but I don't expect her to be leading group classes. Anyway, care is taken to improve the kids' strokes and footwork, as much as possible, to the extent the kids are willing to listen and correct. Both my kids are enjoying their classes, with a little treat after. I love their little tennis shop and the tables that make it easy for people to congregate and make it feel like a cafe. Bathrooms, lockers, water fountains, and most importantly, the ice machine are all functional and clean. Also love the 10-pack of classes they have. Usually no deals to be found for tennis.

This spot is a family owned business, and their love for the sport really shows in every details. The courts are clean and their equipment is top notch. If you're a beginner, they really take the time to show the basics so you feel comfortable. In no time you're rallying, smashing, and be an officially a big "dill." :) Aside from classes, they also have various fun events throughout the year. Some past events have included the Santa Slam Round Robin (complete with fun holiday gear and holiday cheer) and the Halloween SPOOKtacular (hmm perhaps for me since sometimes my pickleball playing can be scary! LOL) Overall, the South Bay Tennis Center is great place for a workout and dill-ightful times!

The lights were bright, so it was a pleasure to play there at night. The courts were medium in speed. The team we played against had many ex-USC varsity tennis players on it. The JKC team is headed by the men's USC tennis coach, Peter Smith! There's a small pro shop as you walk in the front door, then there's a nice size swimming pool (looked like an Olympic size pool). The club has a large locker room. Also, the tennis facility had a lot of lessons going on and it looked like they had a very good junior tennis program. I would love to play at the club more often if I was a member or lived in the area. Tennis is the best sport! Xie Xie!!

They have picnic tables and there is plenty of parking. There's a tennis court, baseball field and bathrooms. It feels private and is away from traffic/cars. The bad: The parking lot is gravel/dirt so it can get pretty dirty with puddles on a rainy day. The interesting: There are hills surrounding it with homes. You can also see horses. There are also a lot of crows. You need to fill out a park permit if you're hosting an event here with 20+ people.

Review #955 2026-019…read more Hours: Daily, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM; closed 1st Tuesday at 2:00 PM monthly for cleaning, park to reopen when the concrete is dry. My son & I were supporting his friend who had a part in the "Alice in Wonderland" musical at Hermosa Beach Community Theater. After the show, the kiddos wanted to hang out at Hermosa Beach Skate Park, which is west (behind) of the theater. The skate park is a concrete park that has various obstacles like ramps, funbox, manny pads, ledges, & rails for all skill levels, & open for drop-in use. It seems smaller than the one in Wilson Park that closed in the late 2000s. Skateboards, in-line skates, & scooters permitted; no bicycles. Safety gear (helmet, elbow pads, knee pads) are required; in-line skaters must also wear wrist guards. Failure to comply with rule or code of conduct may result in suspension; the City of Hermosa Beach may also close the skate park at their discretion. There's free parking available; the driveway is just east of the skate park's entrance. It wasn't that busy on a late Sunday afternoon, probably because the weather was slightly chill. Some of the older kids (middle school?) were more advanced than the younger ones. They were either on skateboards or scooters, with one in-line skater. Of course, there's always a couple of hooligans that don't follow park rules... they were attempting to triple skate together on a scooter down the ramp. Of course, it was an abysmal attempt. O_o The ramp wasn't too high so it's not probable for a major injury or concussion. But what if it's that 1% chance? Why risk it? And to the point of getting caught & having the skate park closed to others in the community that follows the rules & uses it appropriately? Especially since there's only a handful of skate parks in the South Bay. My son didn't have his gear because it was an unexpected play date. He has a skateboard, but prefers his scooter & bike because he's more skilled in those. He mostly stayed outside or along the perimeter to chat with his friend. I couldn't find any rule of pedestrians/observers preventing them from being inside since they're not active skate participants. As a general rule of thumb, safety-wise, I told my son to stay outside to avoid unnecessary accidents. He went in when he noticed fewer skaters/scooters & no one was roughhousing. It's a bit far from our place, but if his friend is into skateboarding, we can come hang out next time with his scooter at Hermosa Beach Skate Park.
