Tennis – City of Upper Arlington

The 2022 tennis season opens on Sunday, April 23 and runs through early fall.The end of the season is TBD based on the construction schedule of Northam Park Phase II which we anticipate to be finalized mid-summer. We currently expect to be open through at least September 15th. Passes are on sale now, click the “Buy Pool & Tennis Pass” button below to purchase a pass.

The City also operates nine Hard Surface Courts, at Fancyburg (four), Sunny 95 (one) and Thompson (four) parks. These courts are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are FREE for public use.

We do run various tennis and Pickleball programs on these courts. Click the link below to view the scheduled use.
