What players say Mixed reviews
Players report that Tennis BC manages the 6 outdoor courts at Stanley Park, with reviews noting well-maintained facilities and a transparent online booking system. Group lessons, adult clinics, and junior camps receive praise for quality instruction, but tournament entry policies and organization receive criticism for lack of transparency and fairness. The courts can become very busy during tournaments, leading to long wait times for non-Open players. Overall, coaching and play opportunities are strong, but competitive players should be aware of frustrations with tournaments.
