A tennis experience unlike any other
Vermont Canyon offers something special: the perfect blend of quality tennis courts and natural beauty. Here's why players from across LA make the trip to these scenic courts.
Scenic mountain setting
Nestled in Griffith Park's canyon, the courts are surrounded by towering trees, rolling hills, and occasional wildlife. You might spot a hawk soaring overhead or catch a glimpse of the Griffith Observatory through the treetops.
Unlike typical urban courts with traffic noise and city views, Vermont Canyon offers fresh mountain air and the peaceful sounds of nature - creating a truly serene tennis experience.
Welcoming community
The majority of players are beginners to intermediates who value the peaceful setting over competitive intensity. Newcomers are always welcomed, and regulars often chat between matches or invite others to join.
Many players connect through Doyouplay to coordinate matches, making it easy for newcomers to find hitting partners and become part of the community.
Escape without leaving LA
Located just minutes from Los Feliz and Hollywood, Vermont Canyon gives you the feeling of a weekend mountain getaway while still being in the heart of LA. The drive up Vermont Avenue feels like entering a different world.
It's often called a "hidden gem" - a place where you can forget about the city's hustle and focus purely on your game in a beautiful natural setting.
Perfect for tennis focus
With spotty cell reception and no urban distractions, Vermont Canyon naturally encourages you to unplug and focus on your game. The peaceful environment helps players stay present and enjoy tennis without external stress.
Many describe it as therapeutic - the combination of physical activity, fresh air, and natural beauty creates a truly restorative tennis experience.
