Does the Western Addition’s Hayward Playground have the Nicest Public Tennis Courts?

Per Yelp‘s Cathy H: Yes, the Western Addition’s Margaret Hayward Playground has the nicest public tennis courts in San Francisco. Says Cathy:

“I enjoy playing at the tennis courts on the corner of Laguna and Turk. Granted, kids in the hood ask you for your tennis balls… The court is lit at night! And parking is plenty!”

Just picture yourself there, inside the wind barriers and ‘neath the numerous church crosses.

    I still say the court atop Alamo Square is the nicest, but then I don’t drive (nor do I live anywhere near Alamo Square). But still, those trees, that view!

    You’re probably right. The trees must really help on windy days…

    I think the J.P. Murphy playground on 9th Ave is the nicest. Recently resurfaced, and below street level with tons of trees there is almost no wind.

    You’ve made your case, and the San Francisco Tennis Examiner(!) appears to agree.

    I’ll gather up all my bully boy friends and invade the neighborhood for a little new jack T-Ball – the neighbors are going to love it.
