North York Tennis Club

This is a little tennis club off Doris Avenue (closest intersection being Yonge & Sheppard). If I didn’t know better, I would have thought it looks more like a bunch of public courts. There are three courts, which of course are fenced off. The courts are pretty well lit, and though they are fenced off and meshed, if you’re sitting outside the fence, you can still see in.
The club room is basically a little shed. Ok a little more than a shed, but it’s a small room. Nothing too fancy, change rooms and a bunch of papers posted on the wall. They have a court monitor and apparently are quite strict when it comes to reserving courts.
In the summertime, the courts are super busy! The bad thing about the club is that they don’t have any electronic or organizing booking system. You basically have to go there, a few hours before you want to play, and try to get a court. If you are a little late, you can lose your spot.
A good thing about this club is that there is plenty of free parking. A lot of people park in the tennis court parking lot and then walk through Hollywood Park which is right beside it. I don’t know of anyone who’s gotten towed, but just be sure not to leave your car there for the whole day.
They have tournaments and ladder games in the summertime. A lot of the members have been members of the club for quite some time. If you’re looking for a place to play tennis, and you live in the area, check out NY tennis club. I don’t think it’s too expensive for a membership either, relative to other clubs.
