Updated October 2026. Tennis City SF › Tennis Courts in Outer Sunset
West Sunset Playground at 3225 Ortega Street has 2 lighted tennis courts, both walk-up only: first come, first served, with no reservations on rec.us. It is the only lighted site among the three public tennis sites in the Outer Sunset.
Where the courts are
Rec & Park does not say which side of the playground to enter from. The site also has a playground, an accessible children’s play area, an athletic field, a baseball diamond, an outdoor basketball court, outdoor fitness equipment, a picnic area, community rooms and accessible parking, per Rec & Park.
Courts and walk-up play
There are no reservation rows to list for this playground: the city tennis directory shows 2 courts, 0 reservable and 2 walk-up, and West Sunset is not one of the sites on rec.us. See how to book a tennis court for the sites that take reservations.
On a walk-up court, the city’s 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.
