With Phoenix's climate it is possible to enjoy tennis pretty much year round. Yes it does get unbearably hot in the summers for some, but that shouldn't stop you from playing, get out there early to enjoy 100 degree weather before 8 a.m. Throughout most the year the weather in Arizona is perfect for tennis maximizing your playing time with less rain than most cities around the country.
Phoenix has many local locations for tennis players of all skill levels to find some quality court time. These facilities range from tennis centers to a couple of courts in a local neighborhood park. In all the Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department maintains a total of 140 tennis courts around the city, many of these courts are free on a first come first serve basis.
The city also operates two tennis centers, The Phoenix Tennis Center and the Mountain View Tennis Center with 22 and 19 courts respectfully. The court fees at these facilities are quite reasonable at $2/90 minutes for adults and $3 for lighted courts. The Mountain View Center is a little bit cheaper with their rates. These tennis centers offer features such as locker rooms, lighted courts, ball machine, hitting wall, and if you are interested in getting some instruction and improving your game there are lessons offered for all skill levels.
