Tucked snugly between a nail salon and a sushi joint on Geary Boulevard, a stone’s throw from the bustling Park Presidio Boulevard, is Golden State Tennis. This locally owned nook for all things tennis (and pickleball) is a local player’s one-stop-shop.
The San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission unanimously passed a $5 reservation fee at select tennis and pickleball locations to streamline court management. The proposal needs approval by the SF Board of Supervisors. Nearly 60% of locations will remain walk-up. The initiative aims to ensure fair access and discourage overbooking.
$40,000 pro tournament (men and women) at the GG Park Goldman Tennis Center. Free to the public. Finals on Oct. 16.
No one seemed to care that there was no splashy ceremony with speeches and VIP guests on opening day at the massively renovated Golden Gate Park Tennis Center (GGPTC) on March 3.
