Updated November 2026. Tennis City Boston
The City of Boston Park Features dataset lists 66 full-size tennis courts at 36 sites, plus 4 Quickstart courts for young beginners and one basketball court with tennis lines. The dataset describes itself as covering “a select group” of park features, so a court can exist without appearing here. It covers city property only, not state courts or private clubs.
Pins for every site are on the Boston court list. Tennis City’s organizer does not live in Boston, so these pages rely on published sources, not visits.

State courts
The state’s Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) runs its own courts, including along the Charles River Reservation. Its community guide says DCR courts are free and first come, first served, except those hosting summer programs. They are not in the counts above.
