University Community Park Tennis Courts

The park has multiple hard courts, and access is free. On-site amenities include restrooms, parking, and water fountains. Additional facilities include shaded areas, a pro shop, viewing areas, a practice wall, court reservations, lessons, and tournaments. Nets and surfaces are maintained to competition standards.

Single-family homes, townhouses, and condos make up most of University Park. Families, professionals, and students drawn by proximity to UC Irvine all use the courts, giving the facility a mixed, active player base.

Use peaks after 5 PM when the after-work crowd arrives. Early mornings and mid-afternoons have the most open courts.

Early mornings, 6 to 8 AM, bring the quietest play and short waits. Evenings, 5 to 7 PM, are the busiest, so arrive early or book a reservation. Midday, 11 AM to 2 PM, tends to have open courts. Summer mornings before 10 AM avoid the worst heat.

Parking on-site is free. Public transportation reaches the park, and nearby walking paths make cycling easy. The courts are in a quiet residential section of University Park.

Hard courts heat up in summer, so play in the early morning. Bring sunscreen and a hat for daytime play. Water fountains are on-site, but pack extra water for longer sessions.
