Updated October 2026. Tennis City SF › Tennis Courts in Mission
Mission Playground at 19th and Linda has 2 lighted tennis courts. Both are free walk-up courts, first come, first served, with no reservations on rec.us.
Where the courts are
The playground is at 19th and Linda Streets. Rec & Park says it shares a site with the Mission Clubhouse, and lists a swimming pool, a basketball court, a blacktop soccer pitch and community rooms.
Courts and walk-up play
| Court | How to play | Booking |
|---|---|---|
| 1 and 2 | Walk-up, first come, first served | No booking |
There are no reservable courts here, so there is nothing to book on rec.us. See how to book a tennis court for courts that take reservations.
When you play on an open court, the city’s walk-up rules apply: a 5-minute warm-up, one set (30 minutes if rallying), giving up the court after the set when others are waiting, and taking the next court together for doubles when four players are waiting. More in the walk-up courts guide and court etiquette.
