The Ultimate Guide to Tennis in Fredericton
Fredericton spreads 29 courts across nine locations, eight of them free to walk on. Wilmot Park and the Abony Family Tennis Center each have six courts, Kimble Tennis Courts has four, and Queens Square offers three. Five sites have lights, so evening play is workable through the summer.
The Abony Family Tennis Center is the only indoor option in the city, which means winter availability depends entirely on one facility. No location has a practice wall, so solo drills require a patient friend or a blank wall elsewhere.
