Vermont Canyon Tennis Courts

There are 12 well-maintained outdoor hard courts, resurfaced around 2015-2016, featuring blue and green colors with well-tensioned nets. The courts are praised for their cleanliness and upkeep.

The courts are outdoor with no lighting available, so play ends at sunset. The setting is tranquil and scenic, surrounded by nature with wildlife such as coyotes and deer, and close views of Griffith Park and the Greek Theatre.

Players must reserve and pay for courts online via the L.A. Parks website days in advance; weekends are particularly crowded and booking is competitive. Drop-in play is not available, and some players find the booking requirement and fees surprising.

Group and private lessons are available with highly recommended coaches such as Gary and Sarah, noted for their helpfulness and skill. Staff like Danny also receive praise for excellent support to beginners.

The facility is described as very clean with flush toilets available, drink vending machines, and well-maintained courts overall.

Court fees range from $8 to $12 per hour, which players find fair given the quality of the courts and surroundings, although some are surprised about the payment requirement for what looks like a public park.
