Blackburn Tennis Center

This is a good place to go for pay-​to-​play tennis.
If you are tired of going to your local public court and hoping that it is open then this might be a good alternative. We paid $ 3 /​person to hack around and it had nice courts good lighting.
Be sure to make a reservation so that you have a court.

Blackburn Tennis Center is one of the few very popular ITP tennis centers. They have recently been taken over by the UTA Tennis Management Group, which has included a ton of renovations, including court surfaces, nets, scoreboards, etc.
I like playing here– the courts are nice. But spectating can be annoying. The picnic tables are shoved up right next to the courts which is distracting for players. Also, there’s just not enough space to spread out. BUT there’s not enough space to sit either, so bring camping chairs and be prepared to squeeze!
On normal nights, they keep the main gate closed, so you have to walk up a flight of stairs and then down a narrow ramp (colliding with other players who are leaving). Not sure why they do this, especially for popular team practice nights.
On match days, GET THERE EARLY especially if you have something heavy to carry. The parking area seems ridiculously small on match days, and you could end up parking nearly half a mile away.
If it were easier to access from the highway, I think I’d like these courts more.
Lastly– the staff, pros, and players are all friendly. That’s a major plus!
