How booking works here
Only at the 4 City tennis centers. Kiest takes bookings by phone, 24 hours ahead. The other three book by the hour on their operator's app or at the front desk; their pages no longer give a price or say whether you need to be a member. For the park courts, no City page we read gives a way to book or a rule. We say so rather than guess.
When to go
Plan a day ahead for Kiest: it books 24 hours out, by phone.
Want to play after dark? Kiest lists every court as lit. No City page we read says which park courts have lights.
