Tennis Courts | Central Park

Solid courts but they turned 2 of them into pickleball so there’s only 4 tennis courts now, which is the same number as Beresford. Don’t come on the weekends. You’ll end up waiting 1-2 hours for a court. People don’t respect the 30 minute rally / 2 set queue system so it’s a shitshow to get a court. Weekdays are great here, although 4-7pm after work can be full in the summer. Some courts are also reserved for San Mateo classes.

San Mateo Central Park tennis courts are great! Be sure to get there before 9am to get a court, especially as the days warm up. The condition of the courts is excellent and they maintain the windbreakers on the fence as well. Perhaps the only reason I wouldn't rate it a five-star is due to the odd resonance you can hear and feel, given that it is above a parking garage. 6 courts in total with some tree coverage. This is a great place to practice or play with a friend. I definitely recommend checking this spot out and it's just a block south of most downtown restaurants and scenery. Restrooms and water fountains are available and reserving a court is not an option. May 2023 update: they've added pickleball lines to the courts and repaired the fences that were knocked down in the windstorm.

The tennis courts are nice, but watch out for the entitled old Karens that are rude to people on a public court. Never experienced such bratty and miserable codgers that act like they own the courts and are playing a “serious tennis game” when they hit balls at 10 mph. You ain’t it, stop acting like you are. There needs to be a better system to queue up for courts so that these old hags don’t get up all in their feelings.
