The Ultimate Guide to Tennis in Laval
Laval's tennis runs through clubs. Four of the nine locations require membership, including the two largest operations, Tennis 13 with 15 courts and Carrefour Multisports with 12. Every site has lights, which makes evening play straightforward year-round.
The trade-off is access. Only four locations are free, and with just 46 courts serving the entire city, public options are limited to parks like Couvrette. If you are not joining a club, your choices narrow quickly, especially in winter when only Carrefour Multisports and Tennis 13 offer indoor courts.
