Tennis
The Huntington Beach climate is a 'match' made in tennis heaven for those who enjoy a good game. Guests of the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa and Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort are treated to exclusive tennis courts that are lighted and cared for. The Hyatt goes from 6 a.m. – 8 p.m. with longer hours as requested. The Hilton runs from 7 a.m. – 10 p.m.
Free public facilities are also available. Most courts operate from morning until 10 p.m. on a first-come, first-"serve" basis. Facilities with lighted tennis courts can be found at:
- Edison Community Park, 21377 Magnolia St. (at Hamilton Street);
- Murdy Community Park, 7000 Norma Dr. (off Golden West Street between Warner and Heil Avenues);
- Marina Community Park, 15871 Springdale St. (at Graham Street); and
- LaBard Park (off Brookhurst at Indianapolis behind the Huntington Beach City School District offices).
Golden West College offers 12 lighted courts up until 8:30 p.m. that are free of charge, too. You may have to dodge tennis classes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, however.
Courts may be reserved at Edison Community Center, 714-960-8870, and after 5 p.m. at Murdy Community Park, 714-960-8895, for $4 per hour. Reservations are accepted two days to two hours in advance.
