Friends of Chamounix Tennis Courts

I liked the vicinity to my neighborhood and it's a free court. Well maintained and clean court. Free parking across the street. Trees will give ample shade to take rest in a sunny day. I wished some kind of wall to be there so that I could practice alone too.

Easy to park right by the courts. Bathroom was locked. Courts have some cracks and bad nets. Some tree debris also on the courts. Not the best but there are limited options in this area. Some courts had benches.

Courts have some cracks and the trees will leave branches/tree droppings around but overall quiet and fun to play, some birds will fly by too.

The courts and nets are in nice shape by public court standards. Two of the courts are out of commission, and several others have some cracks but are playable. Overall, I have not seen a shortage of playable courts even on Sunday mornings. What's really nice, compared to a lot of public courts, is that most of the courts are at least partially shaded. During those blazing hot summer days it's nice to be able to play in the shade! Additionally the courts are (properly) situated more or less north-south instead of east-west. So you are not looking directly into the sun during mornings/evenings. Each court has its own fence so you don't have to worry about disrupting (or being disrupted by) errant balls from adjacent courts. Plenty of parking. There are also public bathrooms, but they always seem to be locked. Not sure what the deal is there.
