Updated November 2026. Tennis City Los Angeles › Los Angeles Public Tennis Courts
The Arthur Ashe Center, part of Rancho Cienega Sports Center at 5001 Rodeo Rd., is the city’s largest free tennis site, with about 12 courts. There is no fee and no booking: courts are first come, first served.
What to expect
The city lists it on its free tennis courts page and has an Arthur Ashe Center page. The court count of 12 comes from a county park inventory whose date we could not confirm, and we could not confirm lights.
Tips
- On busy weekend mornings, wait at the gate for a court to free up, and agree a time limit with whoever is waiting.
- Pick a backup court before you go. See how to get a court.
