In the previous posts, I have been explaining the basics of tennis and so now you all should be ready to go! Oh, but wait! I've forgotten to mention one of the most essential things needed to play tennis: where the tennis courts are located! Some people many know of local tennis courts around town, but some others are well hidden. There are many tennis courts located in Topeka and they are all very nice facilities.

I have added 7 different tennis facilities on this map, each of them labeled with a little blue ticker. Now although these are all great places to play there are many other places to play around Topeka usually located at the various high schools. The reason I did not include these on the map is because while most of the courts are in the open, you may need permission to use them from the school. Places on the map that I know are definitely free to the public are the Lake Shawnee courts, Washburn Courts, and the Shawnee North Courts. The other facilities: Topeka Country Club, Kossover, and Wood valley do require certain memberships or signup to access the courts. Below I have added the links to the places that do require memberships so you can read more about how great they are.

I could not find a link for the Kossover Tennis courts, but here is a phone number to call for information: (785) 273-0030
Great Map! Looks like there are a lot of places to play here in Topeka. Do you have a favorite court?
ReplyDeleteThe map is awsome because i did not know where some of these court were and which reqiured a membership. I like how you explain the fact that you can use a public school as long as you have permission. Some of my favorite courts are Jardine Middle school because it is right by my house. I also like the washburn courts on campus and there is one i cant rember the address for but it is close to 10th and gage that is a fun place to play at. What is one of your favorite courts or is it hard to pick. I look forward to your next post Sierra.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite court to play on would be at the Kossover Facility. Kossover is by far the biggest place here in Topeka to play teniis. It consists of over 20 different courts, that are nicely arranged. The reason it's my favorite is because the courts there are great with no cracks or anything!
