Perfect your serve at these Hong Kong tennis courts
1. Victoria Park
Smack dab in the middle of the city, Victoria Park has hosted a few high-profile tournaments in its 3,600-seater tennis centre court. It also has 13 courts that anyone can book, making it one of the best public tennis facilities accessible to Hong Kongers for free. Aside from being clean and well kept, Victoria Park is a great place for sports in general, with a jogging trail and football pitch, in addition to the tennis court.

2. HKTA Tennis Centre
Maintained by the Hong Kong Tennis Association (HKTA), this Tennis Centre in Kowloon Tsai Park offers eight courts, plus services like coaching and fitness training. It costs up to $57 per hour to rent a tennis court with floodlighting, and as little as $10 per half hour for a practice court with no floodlighting – not bad at all!

3. Hong Kong Football Club (HKFC)
Don’t be fooled by its name – Hong Kong Football Club offers much more than just pitches on its premises. With six all-weather courts perched on the building’s rooftop, players can practise while enjoying the view of the Happy Valley skyline. It should be noted that only members can book these tennis courts, but with the HKFC Tennis Society regularly holding socials, tournaments, and junior leagues, a membership is more than worth it.

Boasting three AstroTurf and three clay tennis courts, this location offers the spice of variety in terms of court surface.

5. Ladies Recreation Club (LRC)
Next on the list has to be the Ladies Recreation Club in the Mid-Levels. The LRC offers 10 courts, including two indoor tennis courts. You get a good variety of court surfaces here as well, with the option to play on synthetic hard and clay courts. This place is super swanky, having pools, bars, a bowling alley, and many other facilities. The only downside is that you need to be a member, or accompanied by a member, to enjoy these benefits.

Over at Club Siena, which is also managed by the DBRC, there are another five courts to play and take classes on. However, like most other clubs on this list, you’d need to be a member of the Club, or accompanied by one, to use the facilities.
