Chastain Park Tennis Center

Played tennis over this past weekend. A tennis pro was very loud and abusive on another court. Saturday around 9am the landscaping crew decided to mow the lawn, edge the grass, etc… unfortunately, about 45 mins of very loud and dusty air on probably the busiest time of the week. When suggested a better time, let’s say during the week less busy court time, the so called pro, same one mentioned above, was very abrupt and rude. Do not recommend PAYING for a public court with such rudeness and threatening staff.

I really like this facility. They take reservations (unlike Piedmont Park) and it is in a beautiful area surrounded by trails, a golf course, etc. There are 12 courts and they are open Mon-​Thurs. from 9 – 9, closed Friday, and open Saturday and Sunday.
I love the fact that there are always happy healthy people jogging around with their loved ones, friends, or pups. It is just a really good energy to encounter and intriguing that, in the middle of Buckhead, this beautiful park is tucked away and you would never know how close you are to the traffic and fumes.
The «Tennis Center» itself is sort of old and funny-​looking (you’ll be like, «Is this where I am supposed to go to meet my opponent?!?»), but they are in the works to build a 4000 square foot semi-​underground building. The positioning of it will help to conserve energy for them.
Also, if you are in the market for lessons, they have pro’s there that you could book through the pro shop. Because their pro shop is (currently) really tiny, they don’t have a store to purchase items (I would put money on it that they will have a store that is jam-​packed with your tennis apparel after their construction of the new facility is complete).
One last cool story– Last time I was playing there, I saw Andre 3000 of Outkast walking by my court (evidently, per him, he lives close to there and (I am guessing) he is health concious too?). So, I ran off the court and got his autograph on a tennis ball!!! You would never believe it, but (per him) it was his first tennis ball ever signed! Haha! I was ecstatic and offered for him to come play tennis as I have extra racquets, though he politely declined.
Happy tennis playing! Have a blast and good luck!
