The Lisa & Douglas Goldman Tennis Center (GTC) sits in Golden Gate Park at Nancy Pelosi Dr & 50 Bowling Green Dr, San Francisco. A $30 million renovation reopened the site as a public tennis facility, keeping the old grounds while adding newer amenities.
Court Features & Amenities
The center runs multiple hard courts with evening lighting for play after dark. Courts are open 9am to 4pm and free to play. On-site amenities include restrooms, parking, water fountains, shaded seating, a pro shop, locker rooms, viewing areas, and a snack bar. Court reservations and tournaments are available.
Local Tennis Experience
Golden Gate Park covers 1,000 acres of gardens, wooded trails, open meadows, and cultural and recreational facilities. The tennis center sits near the park's eastern end, next to Bowling Green Drive and Nancy Pelosi Drive.
Practical Information
Best Times to Play
Early mornings, 6 to 8 AM, bring the quietest play and the shortest waits. In summer, get out before 10 AM to beat the peak heat. Lighted courts let you keep playing into winter evenings.
Location & Access
Parking is available on site. The center is reachable by public transit, and nearby paths make it easy to arrive by bike.
Playing Tips
Hard courts heat up in summer, so play in the early morning. Plan your shots around the wind. Pack sunscreen and a hat for daytime play.
