The Ultimate Guide to Tennis in Saskatoon
Thirteen of Saskatoon's 15 locations are free to play, including the 6-court Nutana Kiwanis Park and dozens of neighbourhood spots scattered across the city. The Riverside Badminton and Tennis Club anchors the member side with 9 courts, and three parks have practice walls for working on groundstrokes alone.
The catch is the calendar. Lakewood Indoor Tennis Centre is the only indoor option for a city of 63 courts, so it fills quickly once the outdoor season closes. Only two locations have lights, which narrows evening options even during the summer months.
Getting Started with Tennis in Saskatoon
If you're new to tennis or getting back into it, the barrier in Saskatoon is low. The outdoor season runs spring to fall, and 13 of the 15 locations here are free to walk on, so all you really need is a racket and a few balls.
