The Quick Hit

The tennis courts at the North Boulder Rec Center are a hidden gem. Although there are only two courts, they are well-maintained and rarely busy. These courts are the best among the Boulder rec centers and offer free lights, making them an excellent option for evening matches. While the amenities are limited, with no seating or on-court water facilities, the court quality and availability make up for it. Just be prepared for potential noise from the nearby pickleball courts.
