Frequently Asked Questions

Which Seattle parks have a tennis practice wall or backboard?

Six Seattle Parks locations have a hitting wall or backboard court: Amy Yee Tennis Center, David Rodgers Park, Laurelhurst Playfield, Ravenna Park, University Playground, and Wallingford Playfield.

Are tennis practice walls free to use in Seattle?

Yes, all Seattle Parks tennis courts with a hitting wall are free for walk-up play when not otherwise reserved.

Can I practice alone against a backboard without a reservation?

Ravenna Park and University Playground are walk-up only courts with a wall, so there's never a reservation to check. The others can be reserved by other players, so check real-time status before heading out.

What is a tennis backboard used for?

A backboard or hitting wall returns the ball like a second player, so one person can practice strokes, serves, and footwork without needing a hitting partner.
