Updated October 2026. Tennis City SF › Tennis Courts in Glen Park, Diamond Heights & Sunnyside
Glen Canyon Park Recreation Center has 2 lighted tennis courts: court 1 is walk-up only, and court 2 is reservable on rec.us for $5 per court per hour in 60-minute slots, with the last start at 8pm. Glen Park BART Station serves the neighborhood.
Where the courts are
Rec & Park lists the park at Bosworth and O’Shaughnessy, with the rec center at 70 Elk Street. Rec.us places the courts on the southeast side of the park and says to enter via Elk Street. The rec center also has a gym with indoor pickleball, a climbing wall, ping pong, a playground, a ball field and a natural area, per Rec & Park.
Courts and booking

|---|---|---|
| 1 | Walk-up, first come, first served | None |
| 2 | Reservable 7 days ahead at 8am | 60 minutes on the hour, 7am to a last start at 8pm |
Rec & Park limits each person to 1 reservation a day and 3 a week, for individual play only. A booking left empty 15 minutes after the start time becomes walk-up time. See how to book a tennis court.
On court 1, the city’s walk-up rules apply: a 5-minute warm-up, one set or 30 minutes when others are waiting, and doubles when four or more are waiting. More in the walk-up courts guide.
