Court Usage

N.B. These Rules will be superseded by new Rules which will be implemented March 1st, 2020

At busy times, courts are available for 1 or 1.5 hours for non-passholders, regardless of singles or doubles. 2 people must be checked at the desk to get a court whether it's singles or doubles. If two players have taken a court and want to pick up 2 more players for doubles, they ONLY get the balance of time left for their court. They could leave that court and take the next available court with the 2 new players to get the full 1.5 hour. All pass holders and those with reservations get 1.5 hours.

Court Reservation System

Payne Park started offering a court reservation service to our users on June 10, 2013.

It is available for one year as a pilot program and does not replace the current first-come, first-served (FCFS) format. It is an additional service available on 3 of 12 courts. A reservation is not required to be assigned a court. We will continue to assign courts for customers by FCFS. Please refer to the information below on how to use the reservation system.

There is NO reservation fee.

For individual reservations only; league teams & instructors contact facility coordinator. League teams and instructor reservations have priority over individual reservations.

90 minute blocks available during normal operating hours below.

WEEKDAYS WEEKENDS
