Clay Tennis Courts

Play on Clay!

Clay courts offer a unique playing experience that every tennis enthusiast should try at least once. The slower ball bounce on clay courts, compared to other common court surfaces, grants players more time to focus on strategic planning and refine their technical skills. Additionally, the soft surface is gentler on the knees, ankles, and feet, reducing the risk of injuries.

Location & Hours

The clay tennis courts are located at Lake Ellyn Park, 645 Lenox Road, near the intersection of Essex and Grand. They’re open from dawn to dusk, from April 1 to November 1.

Clay Tennis Court Season Pass

SPECIAL OFFER: To celebrate the reopening of the newly renovated clay tennis courts, we’re waiving the membership fee for the rest of the 2024 season! Visit the Spring Avenue Recreation Center to process your membership and pick up your key. The courts will be open from August 16, 2024, through November 1, 2024, when they will close for the winter.

An annual clay tennis court season pass is required to use the courts. You can pay the fee online or at the Spring Avenue Recreation Center. Season pass holders must collect their key in person from the Spring Avenue Recreation Center. Residents pay $55, while nonresidents pay $80. Pass holders receive a roster of fellow players.
